London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 census please, BARNARD

I have just seen the post about his death date. It sounds like it could be the same person, with the "1" and "3" transposed in the date of death - an easy mistake to make

Many thanks for that posting. As I am new to this site, I did not know that posting email addresses was not allowed and that new members must make at least three posts before using the PM system. As this is my second post, I still cannot use it yet! I must therefore apologise for not replying sooner - as I didn't receive an email, I simply thought there was no response.

Anyway, please say a little more about the Edward Barnard you are talking about. If he is indeed the same as the person I am researching, then he is a significant figure in the evolution of Dickens's novel The Pickwick Papers. In my notes, taken from material published by the angling club, Edward Barnard died suddenly on 13th December 1861. If that is correct, does that sound like your Edward Barnard?

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
