James Harwood birth and death
- Cowbit
The only info I have on James Harwood are the details of his 2 marriages, but I would like to find his date and place of birth and also date and place of death, also siblings and parents.His first marriage was to a girl named Martha (surname unknown) on 2/7/1738 in Cowbit. It appears that he was baptized on the same day, so I can only presume that he must have been born before 1720. His second marriage was to Susannah Smith at St. Marys, Whaplode on 14/5/1753. He fathered his last child in 1762 in Cowbit, as far as I can find, so his death will obviously be some time later.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
