Hi Len
You really do need one of the childrens birth cert. to find out mothers maiden name.

This seems to be Fanny's birth index


Births Mar 1860 (>99%)
OGDEN Fanny St. Saviour 1d 28


In the 1871 census John is a widowr----However I can't see a Susan Ogden death index between 1861--1871 for the right place !!. Can anyone else ?

I was told by a elderly Aunt that John was Married to Susan Baldwin, but maybe she was wrong. I do know that John was born in Yorkshire c1824 and he was a carpenter as all my family were.

Presumably you obtained Susan's maiden name from the birth certificate of one of their children. Have you considered the possibility that she may have been married before her union with John Ogden? If so she may have married John under her previously married surname.

There is a John Ogden marriage in Greenwich in 1843. There is a Susan Harbett or Harlett on the same register page. I wonder.

As far as John;s birth is concerned your only hope of finding that is via parish records which might indicate a possible baptism. There is one in Halifax in 1834 and as I am sure that you are aware in many cases people were often baptised several years after their birth. Certainly worth a look.

yes could be

Jonesey Report 6 Feb 2013 09:28

As Susan's birth place is given as Hertfordshire and the family are living in Shoreditch I am guessing that if the couple did marry it would have been in the London area rather than in Yorkshire.
