Notes - Harriet's gravestone has her birth year as 1834; the 1900 census has her dob as 5 May 1835.
Her baptismal record gives her parents' names as George Edwards and Aby Wray. She was baptized on 18 Sep 1831, so I have estimated her actual birthday.
According to census data in 1900, Harriet came to America in 1836. However, that is not possible since she is in the England census in 1841 and 1851. She probably came in 1853.
- Harriet's gravestone has her birth year as 1834; the 1900 census has her dob as 5 May 1835.
