The groom's panel, quoted in the record's own field order. Read in the signed-in browser by the orchestrator on 2026-09-07; the transcription is theirs and I did not see the page. The register spells him COLES; Australia spells him Cole. Both parties are resident at High Ham and both are single, so this is a first marriage for each.

Name Harriet Jane Meaker | Sex Female | Age Full | Residence Place High Ham | Marital Status Single | Occupation Servant | Religion Anglican
The bride's panel of the same entry, quoted in the record's own field order; the event fields are identical to the groom's. Read in the signed-in browser by the orchestrator on 2026-09-07; the transcription is theirs. She is a servant at High Ham — two years earlier the census had her in service at Tintinhull, which is where Henry's family lived.

For “Christened” 12 FEB 1833 of Harriet Meaker
Harriet Meaker | Christening 12 Feb 1833 | High Ham, Somerset | Parents George Meaker, Lucy Ann
THE FIRST OF THREE HARRIETS in this family. Results-row values only; no per-record ark captured. RESOLVED 2026-09-08: she was buried at High Ham on 23 November 1834, aged about one, which is why a second Harriet was christened seven weeks later on 11 January 1835 — and that second Harriet was herself buried on 21 April 1838, which is why Harriet JANE followed in December 1839. The name was reused twice. The three are separate children and must never be merged.

For “Buried” 21 APR 1838 of Harriet Meaker
Harriet Meaker | Burial 21 Apr 1838 | High Ham, Somerset | born 1835
THE SECOND HARRIET, buried at High Ham aged three. Results-row values only; no per-record ark captured. This burial is what proves the name was reused: Harriet JANE follows in December 1839, twenty months later. Her death date is entered as BEF 21 APR 1838 because a burial date is not a death date.

For “Buried” 23 NOV 1834 of Harriet Meaker
Harriet Meaker | Burial 23 November 1834 | High Ham, Somerset, England, United Kingdom | Birth 1832
Results-row values only; no per-record ark was captured and the record page was not opened. Read in the signed-in browser by the orchestrator on 2026-09-07. THIS RESOLVES THE THREE HARRIETS. She was christened 12 February 1833 and buried 23 November 1834, aged about one; the index estimates her birth as 1832, a year early, which is normal for a burial row with no stated age. Her sister Harriet, christened 11 January 1835 only seven weeks after this burial, was herself buried 21 April 1838. Harriet JANE, christened 22 December 1839, is the third of the name and the only one to grow up. The death date is entered as BEF 23 NOV 1834 because a burial date is not a death date.
