Edward Hart

[Sabrina]

OHs FFMFF has only recently been discovered, so this is what I know at present:

Name: Edward Hart [Senior]
Place of Birth/Baptism: Unknown
Occupation: Labourer
Died: before Mar 1838

Know he had at least three sons:

Edward born 1800 Penkridge, Staffs. Keeper at Lunatic Asylum, Gloucester<< OHs Ancestor
Charles born 1803 – emigrated to Canada
Thomas born 1808 Huntingdon, Staffs [Huntingdon is approx 24 miles from Penkridge] – emigrated to Canada

Possibly another son:
John Hart, who was a witness at the wedding of OHs Ancestor in 1827 and also a Keeper at Lunatic Asylum in Gloucester. Cannot find any trace of him after 1828, when he and wife Mary Ann, had a child baptised in Gloucester.

Possible baptisms of children:

31 Aug 1797 Edward Hart s/o Edward & Sarah, at Haughton, Staffs [about 6 miles from where Edward said he was born]
10 Jan 1802 Charles Hart, s/o Edward and Sarah, born Dec 1801, at Penkridge, Staffs

It would be good to find the baptisms of Thomas, and possibly John, to same parents.

Therefore, a likely marriage 5 Oct 1796: Edward Hart, widr to Sarah Hadderton, spin at Haughton, Staffs. [source: Ancestry extracted Parish Records]
