Harnock C. (Smith) 10 Tottenham Street Tottenham Court Road

Amongst the people on Tottenham Street
who were assessed for the St Pancras Vestry Poor Rates,
I found an entry in the rate book for June 1809/

Christian married Sarah Hackett in 1807

This Horwoods map of 1790 clearly shows Number 10

We know that he had two sons

- Henry and Christian -

who were christened at St Mary's Marylebone in 1808 and 1810.

Henry married in 1834 and his daughter was born at 10 Tottenham Street in 1838.

Although her name is not on the certificate we know that she was later christened Charlotte

But by the time of the census in 1841. Henry HARNICK(sic)

and his wife Agnes and Henry, Charles ( This should be Charlotte!!!)

and Mary Ann were living at 23, Cumberland Street - just round the corner.

In 1851 Henery Haarnock(sic)Agnes and their seven children were at 50 Newman Stret

In 1881 There was a family called Satterthwaite iving at 18 and 19 Cumberland Street . (Ada Satterthwaite was later to marry Henry's son, Christian.) and the Ford family - Henry's daughter Charlotte, her husband and children -lived in Tottenham Street Wood Yard.
