According to W J Lomas, writing in 1982, Isaac Harvey was the father of Elizabeth Johnson's illegitimate child Laban Johnson, born in 1858. He was foreman at the pottery works in Lount where Elizabeth worked. Isaac Harvey was born 19 Jan 1823 at Rugeley, Staffs. In 1858 Isaac then got Elizabeth Johnson pregnant, and their son Laban Johnson was born 29 Aug 1858 at Lount. It is not clear why Isaac and Elizabeth did not marry, perhaps Elizabeth didn't want to have to raise Isaac's children. Subsequently Isaac Harvey married Sophia Johnson nee Glover 9 Dec 1861 in Birmingham. Reuben seems to have set up a new family, as in the 1861 census he is living in Aylburton, Gloucestershire with a Mary Ann Johnson b1837 in Guildford, and a baby girl Mary Ann Johnson b1858 in Worcester. After 1861 there is no clear trace of any of them. The "wife" and "daughter" may not even really have had the last name Johnson, it could have been attributed by the census collector. There is in fact no trace of a marriage of Reuben around that time. In any case, Reuben must have either died or, most likely, divorced from Sophia, because on 9 Dec 1861, Sophia re-married, to Isaac Harvey. In her marriage certificate to Isaac Harvey it says she is a "spinster", which is somewhat misleading, although there are various dictionary definitions (e.g. Websters) that define a spinster as "a woman who is not married, divorced or widowed". My suspicion is that she was divorced. There is also another error in the marriage certificate between Isaac and Sophia, concerning Sophia's father, who is named as "George Johnson, Shoemaker". Now her father was in fact "George Glover, Shoemaker", and it looks as if the official mistakenly took her father's last name from her own last name (Johnson). The fact that his first name was George and that he was a shoemaker confirms this I believe. Also the fact the Sophia's youngest daughter Helen Johnson was living with George and wife Elizabeth at the time of the 1861 census, and that one of the witnesses at Sophia and Isaac's marriage was Sophia's brother Francis Glover. Children of Isaac and Sophia were Isaac b1864, Mary b1866, George b1868, William b1871. In 1867 (our) Elizabeth Johnson married James Richards, and her son Laban by Isaac Harvey lived with Elizabeth and James. Isaac Harvey died 3 Jan 1900, aged 77 (b1823). |
