Thank you for that Elizabeth. I was half hoping, of course, that it would be a name that meant something to me, but alas it's not. She does seem a funny old thing, that Harriet. Lying about her father on the marriage register, lying (quite astoundingly) in the censuses. She must have looked pretty good for a 78-year-old to be able to pass herself off as 62, though I suppose no-one but the enumerator would see the return anyway!
