Looking at the dob for the Susan HARWOOD nee ALDRIDGE above, she could be the daughter of George & Susan who was baptised at Stevenage in 1805, so not your Susan. Yes, she is, as there is a burial at Stevenage St Nicholas on 29 October 1811 for a Susan ALDRIDGE, aged 3, who is much more likely to be the daughter of Smith & Elizabeth. Also a burial at Stevenage on 27 February 1807 for a Rebecca ALDRIDGE, aged 3 months, who again is a likely candidate for the daughter of Smith & Elizabeth. Burial on the Herts Burial Index of an Elizabeth ALDRIDGE at Stevenage on 10 June 1827, aged 27 - Edward's first wife??
Not many of the children of Smith & Elizabeth survived to a good age, did they. I cannot find any burial records in Hertfordshire for James & Sarah FAVELL - so far. Nor can I find Mary Ann, baptised 24 May 1801 daughter of Smith & Elizabeth at the moment either. Daughter Phoebe, if she is the wife of William INGLE, also seems to have disappeared. Having said that, there is a Phoebe INGLE in the 1841 census of Peckham, Camberwell, Surrey (HO107/1051/8, folio 14, page 21) who is described as aged 35, a Shopkeeper not born in the county living with presumably daughters Jemima & Lydia both born in the county. Lydia is buried at Camberwell on 7 February 1849, aged 18 & there is a marriage record for a Jemima INGLE at St Leonard Shoreditch on 22 January 1846, father shown as William INGLE, Shoemaker. Bingo! Marriage at St Leonard Shoreditch on 6 June 1849 between William KEAN, full age, bachelor, Cordwainer, Ivy Lane, father William KEAN, Framework Knitter & Phoebe INGLE, full age, widow, Ivy Lane, father Smith ALDRIDGE, Servant. Witnesses: John BARNETT & Sarah FAVELL?? This marriage record is on Ancestry and my eyes may be seeing what I want them to, but the witness could be Sarah FAVELL. Have a look and see what you think. Also have a look at the 1861 census of Bethnal Green (RG9/251, folio 80, page 36) where a James FAVEL, aged 60, Builder, born Bedfordshire, is living at 5 Queen Street with wife Sarah FAVEL, aged 60, born Hertfordshire. Could this couple be our missing James & Sarah??
Hope this has been some help, anyway, and perhaps provided you with some information you do not already possess.
