Hi Mudrick,
Welcome to Rootschat!
I've looked at the 1871 census, but there are quite a few Arthur Barkers born about 1864. None of them born Bromley by Bow.
Do you know who Arthur and Mary's parents were, or what Arthur's father did for a living?

So where does Bromley by Bow come into the picture - was a bit confusing :P
-
the only Essex marriage of a John and Ann is in 1851 Dunmow .....

In 1881 Arthur (b Saffron Walden) is lodging with the Rainbow family in Castle Street, Saffron Walden and working as a fishmonger's assistant.

Looking for the marriage........

hi nanny jan
arthur barker was born in 1864 in saffron walden essex,but I dont know when he married Mary Adelaide yeo. I know Artur's father was Martin Barker.Arthur and Mary had about six Children who I am interested in can you help thanks Mudrick
-
Hi Mudrick,
I know Arthur's father was Martin
drip-feeding the info out like this over a series of posts is causing people to use time and resources to no avail.
Please could you outline all you know.
I'm guessing as you havent mentioned it that the Arthur I found in the 1871 census is wrong as his father was a John ?
So where did you get the father Martin's name if you dont have Arthurs marriage Cert ?
-
I suspect that you have your Arthurs and Alfreds mixed up - remember that NJ found the probable marriage of an Alfred Barker to Ms Yeo in 1887, Poplar (covers Bromley by Bow)
1871 - RG10/1708; Folio: 132; Page: 3 - Safron Walden
'Sarah's Place'
Martin Barker 38 Head
Eliza Barker 39 Wife
Alfred Barker 7 son
all born SW
-
However ....
that Alfred is still at home with parents in 1891, a single man ... so he's eliminated and not the Alfred who married Ms Yeo in 1887.
RG12/1432; Folio 91; Page 26
4, Castle Court
Martin is now a Carman, and Alfred a Coach Builders Labourer.
-
Given the oldest kids ages and PoBs, I'd say this was the couple who married in 1887 ... its not the Alfred whose father was Martin, and its not the Arthur we originally looked at !
BUT it has the Bromley / Bow link you mentioned ::)
1901 - RG13/1565; Folio: 77; Page: 12 - Stratford, West Ham
149, Tennyson Rd
Alfred Barker 37 Head Commercial Traveller born London
Mary A Barker 34 Wife London
Alfred E Barker 12 son Bow
Laura M Barker 8 dau Bromley
Elsie A Barker 6 dau do
Edward H Barker 3 son Upton Park
Alfred C Barker 5 months Stratford

Unfortunately I think I may have the wrong arthur barker,I'm not sure if he had a middle name as he only signs it arthur barker his wifes name was Mary Adelaide Yeo before they were married and they lived in West Ham and then Leytonstone in later years.So if any one can find the arthur barker I'm looking for it would be great.He was something to do with a brush company thanks

Hi,
My posting from 5 November has a Mary Adelaide Yeo marrying in 1887; possible groom Alfred Barker............not Arthur Barker.
That is the only marriage shown for a Mary Adelaide Yeo on Free BMD (up to 1930).

did you see the chap whose father was Martin in the previous details ?
-
A copy of the marriage cert of Mary Adelaide Yeo might solve the puzzle! :-\

There are two web sites which may assist in search of Barker family.
www.henhamhistory.org and www.recordinguttlesfordhistory.org.uk. Both are run by volunteers who have an interest in local history inc genealogy.
Neither site conducts research on behalf of someone but they keep a private list of people interested in the same names, the may be able to assist in your search.
