Daughter of Frederick & Mercy (Dutwell) Hales

Daniel's future wife was Priscilla Hales. She was born in or around Doddington (near Faversham) around May 24th 1841 [Birth Index: Faversham 5 167, 1841 (Sept)] to parents Frederick Hales and his wife Mercy (nee) Dutwell (or Dutnall/Durtnall). Mercy was born at Otterden, Kent around 1809-11. Some descendants claim that Frederick married Mercy at Hartlip, Kent on April 17th 1827 and that he worked at one period on the construction of the railway line between London and Dover. The 1841 Census, taken on June 7th, finds Priscilla aged "13 days" living with her parents and six older siblings at Doddington. Frederick may have died in either 1842 [Death Index: Faversham 5 125, 1842 (June)] or 1843 [Death Index: Faversham 5 121, 1843 (Sept)]. Mercy subsequently partnered, but apparently did not marry, a chimney sweep Israel West. The 1851 Census finds the family living in Water Lane, Ospringe, describing Priscilla as aged "9" and assigning the West surname to her.

Daniel married Priscilla at Faversham Parish Church on October 11th 1857. The church's marriage register and the GRO reference [Marriage Index: Faversham 2a 951, 1857 (Dec)] both misrender his surname as Woodhouse. The register describes him as a bachelor and powder-maker aged "23", and her as a spinster aged "19" (but actually 16). They were both living in Ospringe Road. His father is described as a brick-maker and hers as a labourer "Israel Hales", evidently confusing the names of her father and stepfather. Neither party could sign their name. The witnesses were Mary Ann Rolfe and John (Tolbrook) Crisfield whose connections are unknown, but they married to each other the following year [Marriage Index: Poplar 1c 1153, 1858 (Dec)].
