| Biography | Let's call him "John the Moulder". Now this man is a bit of a mystery. He was admitted as a Freeman of the City on 1 October 1830. This must be the family living at Belgrave Square in the 1851 Census records, where the wife Margaret is listed ( born in Buckley, Flintshire, together with son William aged 16 ( therefore born circa 1835 ) and daughter Elizabeth aged 12 ( therefore born around 1839 ). These dates and names match the baptism records in footnote 1538. I have assumed that this is the ironfounder apprentice to George Harrison. The Hornby Steer Collection (HS) at the City Record Office relates mainly to the Harrison Family who were prominent in city affairs and in local government prior to the Municipal Corporation Act 1835. They included John Harrison, yeoman of Aldford; his son Job Harrison, who established a medical practice in Chester in 1777; his grandsons George Harrison, mayor of Chester, 1824-25 and joint owner of the Roodee Iron Foundry and paper mills and the Rev. William Harrison curate of Holy Trinity in the early nineteenth century. The CRO holds George Harrison's diaries 1836-65 ...... I just wonder ....... ? At one time I had a notion that John was married to Mary Unknown and that there were two Johns ... one a moulder and the other an iron founder .... but I have now concluded that there was indeed only the one person. However I am still intrigued here ... why would he be an apprentice carpenter as well as ironfounder ... I still have a suspicion that there may be two Johns.2 |

She married Berengar c. 880, becoming Queen of Italy in 888. However, her husband lost his throne in the following year to Guy of Spoleto. Berengar began to reassert his power in 896, after the fall of the Spoleto family, and the withdrawal of Emperor Arnulf from the peninsula; however, a defeat by a Magyar army, and the decision by the Italian nobles to appoint Louis of Provence as King of Italy, delayed the King and Queen's formal return to power until 905. Bertila became Holy Roman Empress, after her husband was crowned Emperor in 915. She died in the December of the same year, poisoned after having been accused of infidelity. Bertila and Berengar had two children: * Bertha * Gisela (882–910), who married Adalbert I of Ivrea. Her son was Berengar II of Italy.1 |
