Hi Bev,

You should get the Civil Registration for the birth of Harriet Henson to be
sure what her mother's name was and, hopefully, where she was born and her
age when Harriet was born. England started registering vital records ca 1837
so her record should be available. You will have to write to England to get
this as they aren't available otherwise. The indexes to the Civil
Registrations are available thru the LDS FHCs. They are done quarterly by
year so it is helpful if you know what month she was born.
Without doing some basic research on your family you aren't likely to know if
you've found the right people, or not.
