Henry Augustus HARDING
I am looking for any information regarding Henry Augustus HARDING b 1785? probably in England and died 1846 in England.
He fathered a daughter Mary Eliza Green HARDING who was born in 'East New York' in 1818 - mother's name unknown. She next pops up marrying a Birmingham (England) tailor in 1839. Henry may have been present but as Mary was 21 she did not need his permission to marry. Mary was either deaf or deaf-and-dumb and used the 'American Samoa' sign language. How long she stayed in New York is unknown. What Henry was doing in New York - in the US for that matter, is also unknown. He may have been a soldier but his trade is listed as 'tin-plate worker'. That's all the information I have. Can anyone add to it?
