John James Harley

HARLEY, JOHN JAMES -
GRO Reference: 1873 D Quarter in NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE Volume 10B


Mary Ann Harley married William Dougall in the same quarter - was he William's son.

1881 - John J Bell on census.
1891 - John J Sinton on census.

In 1901 the Sinton family have David Harley, brother-in-law, staying with them.

It's a bit hard to be known by three different surnames, and none of them your biological father's. Though what was said to the enumerator wasn't necessarily what you were known by.

Interesting that Mary Ann had more than a whole decade without any children. It suggests that Alexander was either ill, in prison or at sea. I wonder how she coped?

It's taken my a lot of detective work to get this far, Phoenix!
When I first did this research there was no MMN on the GRO index but once I found

BELL, CATHERINE HARLEY
GRO Reference: 1879 S Quarter in NEWCASTLE ON TYNE Volume 10B Page 99

I realised that Mary Ann must have been married before as she married Alexander Bell with the MN of Dougall.

I can well imagine! I can't find any convincing candidates for David and Mary Ann as children unless David's dob is wildly out, one of their birthplaces is wrong, or like John James, they grew up under different surnames.

The marriage locator website doesn't have the place of marriage, so it was probably a Register Office:

And in 1871:
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...1%2F0021026428

William Hasley Head
- Male 37 1834 - Northumberland, England
Ann Hasley Wife
- Female 38 1833 - Northumberland, England
Ann Hasley Daughter
- Female 13 1858 - Northumberland, England
David Hasley Son
- Male 8 1863 - Northumberland, England
Sarah Jane Hasley Daughter
- Female 7 1864 - Northumberland, England
William Hasley Son
- Male 5 1866 - Northumberland, England
Isabella Hasley Daughter
- Female 2 1869 - Northumberland, England
George Little Brother-in-law
- Male 44 1827 - Northumberland, England

Hasley is the enumerator's error.
