180th Wedding Anniversary of Harriet BALDREY and Robert MACKROW

180 years ago on this day, Harriet BALDREY married Robert MACKROW  at St. Marylebone, Middlesex, England. St Marylebone was named for the 'bourne'. The Ty bourne was a stream running from what is now Regent's Park down to the Thames. This is the church where Elizabeth Barrentt married Robert Browning sixteen years later in 1846. photo of the church

They were both born in rural Norfolk - Tottington and Geldeston respectively - but were married in London. The couple had 10 children between 1829 and 1848. The first six children were baptized at St. Marylebone in Chelsea, with very different spellings: Sarah McCraw, Harriet Flora Mackrow, Elizabeth Mackerow, Emily Elizabeth Mackerow, Robert William Mackirow.

Over the years the family seemed to fall on hard times. They lived for many years on Symons Street in Chelsea. They eventually started a laundry business. The couple ended their lives in the Infirmary of the Chelsea workhouse. They were both buried in common graves in the Brompton Cemetery. Their daughter Harriet Flora Mackrow, my 4th Great Grandmother, married Henry SHELVERTON of Burwell in 1854.
