Hi Im doing a bit of research for a work colleague of my husband. She dosent have much information to go off. Her Grandfather was Thomas Doney Barker who died in 1939 aged 28 years. She believes he may have had Scarlet fever. Thomas married Alice D Armstrong in 1937 and they just had the one child who was her mother who has also passed away. Burials were on findagrave at St Bartholomews, Newbiggin by the Sea.
Going off Thomas Doney Barkers birth he would have been born 24 Jan 1911 according to the 1939 census. Him and his wife and daughter were living at Wallsend. Also who was staying with them was his widowed Mother Jemima Barker who was born in 1882.
My problem is I can not find a birth for Thomas Doney Barker. What I did find was Jemimas grave at St Bartholomews Newbiggin 1st Dec 1972 and on her gravestone it says beloved wife of the late Adjutant Thomas Barker. I cant find a marriage for a Thomas Barker and Jemima but there is a Jemima Doney born 1882 in Cramlington who was living in Bedlington. She disapeared after 1891 census. Im hoping a fresh pair of eyes can pick something up I`m missing.

According to the 1921 census, Thomas Doney was born in Midlothian, Scotland. No father present on this census; mother Jemima is down as 'widowed' and children as 'father dead.'
Following the birth registrations of Thomas' siblings who were born in England, Jemima's maiden name was Doney. The Jemima from Cramlington matches the 1921 census.
