  • Hands & harford

    Mark John Hands (born around 1827) and Jane Harford (born around 1829) married in Marylebone, June quarter, 1848.
    Children - Alfred Marks born 1850 Stepney, Henry French born 1852 Whitechapel and
    George Frederick born 1854 Whitechapel. The family came to Australia, Victoria, on the
    OUDERKERK VAN DEN AMSTEL in Jan, 1855. I have info going forward for Alfred Mark..he married Julia Honeyman..for which I've done a separate post. I wondered if anyone is researching the Hands or the Harford's in the UK.

            Can anyone by any chance see further info going backwards for Mark and his father, John Hands..likewise for Jane and her father John Harford... I wonder if John the witness was an uncle and if Sarah was Jane's sister or mother...

              Mark on the 1851 is from limerick, Ireland. Cannot see him on the 1841.

              Will have a look for John Hands and Jane....

                According to a tree on ancestry jane's parents are John Harford 1795- 1864 and Jane Shepherd 1802-1884. the family is from wiltshire.


                Sarah may be the sister born 1828, she marries in 1850.

                  Thanks for the info KarenS - there was mention of a Jewish link to this family, but I can't see it..perhaps later down the track..
                  There were some Jewish Hand's showing in the 1851 census and I found more burials in the 1940's..both called John funnily enough.....
