Wheelright is making wheels <G> simple <G> and your Hardings interest me much since my Lewis married a Harding who was born 1785 in Malmesbury (marriage record says) BUT she is connected to Charlton too. Charlton isn't too far from Malmesbury it that helps. I will look for a map and give you the URL. My Elizabeth who married James Lewis is daughter of George Harding b 18 Feb 1762 Garston, near Malmesbury, England Year of Registration: 1840 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Malmesbury County: Gloucestershire, Wiltshire Volume: 8 Page: 249 (click to see others on page) ----- Original Message ----- From: <keholtrdh@hotmail.com> To: <ENG-WILTSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 4:31 PM Subject: [ENG-WIL] Harding Family | This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. | | Surnames: Harding | Classification: Query | | Message Board URL: | | http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EUC.2ACI/3133 | | Message Board Post: | | I am searching for the family of William Harding <1784> born in Crudwell, Wiltshire. I have listed in the 1841 census of Rodmarton, Glos. He is married to a woman named Mary from Cirencester, Glos. The census indicates all the children were born in Glos. In the same 1841 census of Rodmarton is a William Harding with a son Thomas, also not born in Glos. In a 1851 census in Rodmarton Richard Harding is listed as a widower and was born in Crudwell. Living with him are Thomas and Francis and their place of birth is listed as Charlton and all three are listed as 'wheelright'. Not sure what that is, but assume it has to do with a boat and do not know where Charlton is. | | I am thinking William and Richard are brothers. Does anyone have a connection? Would like to find the names of the parents. | | | ==== ENG-WILTSHIRE Mailing List ==== | Ordering BMD Certificates: see | http://www.statistics.gov.uk/nsbase/registration/certificates.asp | http://www.statistics.gov.uk/nsbase/registration/certe_w/fees.asp | | ============================== | Search the US Census Collection.
