• Notes

  Marries Henry BAKEWELL 23/4/1889 at St Mary Magdelene, Southwark. There is also a marriage to Samuel ROGERS 29/11/1874 at St Stephen, Rochester Row between Harriet Caroline DESBOROUGH and Samuel ROGERS, but the given age of the bride is 21 (Harriet would be 17, so possible that she would lie, and therefore be consistent with her 1889 marriage as one of spinster). If this is the same person, she (with the correct age) and Samuel are living at the same address in 1881 as Henry BAKEWELL, who is likely to be the person she marries in 1889. However there is no record of Samuel ROGERS dying in the relevant timeframe. Note that 1911 Census says they have been married 30 years, but this is clearly a typo or more likely an arithmetic mistake
