Harriett Carter Bodycote
On 19 May 1851, Joseph Noon Bodycote, 22, bachelor, FWK of Denman Street Leicester, son of Joseph Bodycote, FWK married Harriet Carter, 20, spinster of Russell Street Leicester, daughter of William Carter, FWK, probably at St Margaret's.
Joseph Snr (Gawd bless him) was a witness to his son’s marriage. Joseph Jnr subsequently emigrated to the US and married another twice, seemingly without troubling to obtain a divorce (or two). Wife #2 (Mary) actually put a notice in the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1863 warning Magistrates not to marry him because he already had two wives living, but she was too late because he had married Rebecca Ballard in Fayette Illinois in the February! Joseph and Rebecca stayed married until his death in 1904 and had seven children, so he got it right in the end. However, what happened to Harriett? I think he left her behind, but I can't prove it. I can see her on the 1851, but I can't figure out what happened next. Anybody?

Thanks Phoenix.
I can’t find the one who died in Barrow on Soar District on the 1861 Census, so I guess she may have died earlier in the Quarter, which doesn’t help, although the age is out by a good bit.

There's a John B in Mountsorrel in 1861, widower, aged 42 and a possible marriage between a JB and Harriet Holmes in 1851 Barrow district which may be the Harriet who died in 1861.

Unhelpful that JNB says he emigrated in 1846! lol (1900 census)
I take it he didn't have children with Harriet? (or at least not in England?) I did start looking, but the site crashed after I'd done the first five years from their marriage (no matches).
