3 May 2005 to Daniel Goonan
I have a copy of the baptism of Sarah Harding chr 11 Aug 1776 at St Luke's Old Street Finsbury, Middlesex and it gives her parents as Thomas Harding (Watch Glassgrinder) and Sarah.
This is the same parish as Edward Spencer Wills was christened and Sarah Wills chr 15th May 1796.
In her letter Sarah Wills addresses the letter to Dear Mama-in-law. and mentions Mama Wills and apologises for not naming a child Elizabeth and goes on to mention the birth of Elizabeth Selina.
I would guess that Elizabeth Harding who visited Australia in 1811 is her stepmother.
Where did you find the marriage of Elizabeth Bell to Thomas Harding?
At St Luke's Old Street Finsbury Middlesex there is a marriage of Thomas Harding to Sarah Cumber in 1766 which would fit.
