Notes by Mindy C. Pugh: My Great-great aunt Harriet was born at 2 Lombard Street, Southwark, Surrey.

Harriet married John Amsden on September 9, 1879 at St. George the Martyr Church, Southwark, Surrey. (Be sure to read his memorial as additional information on Harriet is recorded there as well as detailed information on him).

The Amsdens were living at Farley Road, 6 Farley Place, Croydon, Surrey as of the 1881 census (they then apparently lived in Croydon at least through 1884). In 1893 they were at 6 St. Loy's Road, Tottenham, London. In 1896 they were at 39 Gleandish Road, Tottenham. As of the 1901 census they were at 43 Moselle Street, Tottenham.

Between the 1901 census and the December 1903 birth of their son William they moved from Tottenham to Edmonton. In the 1911 census they were at 57 Raynham Road, Edmonton. By the 1921 census they were at 97 Winchester Road, Edmonton, London, where they both lived for the rest of their lives.

The 1921 census records the following family members at 97 Winchester Road, Edmonton:
John Amsden, head, 65 yrs. 5 mos. Born London. Maker of scientific instruments.
Harriet Amsden, wife, 59 yrs. 2 mos. Born London. Home duties.
Florence Amsden, daughter, 34 yrs. 10 mos. Born Walworth, London. Maker of cardboard boxes.

David Amsden, son 15, yrs. 3 mos. Born Edmonton, Middlesex. Invalid—never did any work.

Both John and Harriet died at 97 Winchester Road, Edmonton.

Harriet and John's son John Theophilus did not marry and lived with them, and then alone until his death in 1968, when 97 Winchester apparently was sold.
