Your monument shall be my gentle verse
That eyes not yet created shall o'er read
And tongues to be, your being, shall rehearse
When all the breathers of your world are dead
You still shall live, such virtue hath my pen
Where breath most breathes - in mouths of men

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Charles Ginn of Harlow d. 1848


Son of John of Thorley in my post of the same date, I currently have no information on Charles until he turned up in Harlow in 1825 when he married Ann Rowe that year.  He was a labourer, still living in Harlow in 1841.  




 Harlow was then a village of course.  Sadly I know nothing of this family save names and dates at present.  Ann died at Harlow in 1843, likely in childbirth with a quoted age of 39.  Charlie soon followed her in 1848, leaving five orphans:  The surviving children later seem to have scattered across London and Surrey.

Mary Ann - married Charles Perrin at Newington in 1846

Elizabeth - in the 1851 census, she was a 23 year old servant in the home of Charles Yardley, a Chief Clerk in a Police Office.  The family lived at 3 Bayham Cottages, Marylebone. She claimed her father to have been a farmer when she married William Perrin at Newington in 1857

Frederick - went to live with his uncle George when he was orphaned.  See last post.  Fred will be dealt with in a later post

Sarah - witnessed a family marriage or two, a servant in Newington in 1871 when she was 39

Emily - in the 1901 census, she is in Newington as a domestic servamt under her maiden name, aged 59

Charles and Emma - died in infancy
