Could anyone tell me whether the Edward Barnard here is the same Edward Barnard as the one who was among the founders of the famous Houghton Angling Club? This Barnard died 13th December 1861, and I strongly suspect that it is the same person - I have just seen the surname Beadon mentioned here, and another founder of the Club was called Beadon.
If it is indeed the same Edward Barnard, I would like to find out as much about him as possible, and would be grateful for any information anyone may have. I am currently writing a book about Charles Dickens's Pickwick Papers, and the Houghton Angling Club was one of the inspirations for Pickwick. As I do not visit this website very often, I would prefer to be contacted by my email address:
*Many thanks
