John Welborn was born in Sotby and was baptised on 28 February 1786, 3rd child and oldest son of John & Mary). Harriett Halgarth was baptised 28 December 1796 at St James, Louth, Lincolnshire. The couple married 30 May 1836, in Louth, Lincolnshire. It was a later than usual marriage and I have searched a little and it does appear to be a first marriage for both. There does not appear to have been any children.
In 1851 the couple has a lodger, Elizabeth Wass, and also a visitor Sophia Halgarth who is 6. Obviously a relation, Ive yet to work out the actual relationship. Im assuming the grandchild of one of Harrietts brothers.
In 1861 they have a different lodger, this time William Bratley.
1871 sees the couple back to just themselves. 1881 Harriett was still in Sotby, this time her sister Ann Lancaster, also a widow, was with her
The couple continue to live in the Village through to their deaths, John in 1872 and Harriett in 1883.
