Evere is a suburb if outer Brussels and is where NATO has its HQ.  The international airport is co located with the Belgian Air Force airbase at Evere; the latter is possibly the location of RAF Evere as was. 

Thanks.   The marriage register entries for Ponders End in 1905 list Elizabeth Sophia Chappell and Henry George Barker on the same page but for different marriages 2 months apart, so I think the other tree entries are not Henry.  There is a possibility that Henry might have been of Wesleyan/Methodist stock as his elder brother William James appears to have had a Wesleyan burial in 1914. 

I'm researching Henry Barker who was born in St Pancras in Nov 1873.  His parents were William Barker and Mary Allison. I have found Henry on census records from 1881-1911. In the 1911 census he is listed as living in Hornsey and married for 5 years to a woman called Elizabeth who was born in Winkfield, Berkshire.  Henry's occupation was a scale maker and in the 1891 census he is listed as an apprentice along with his brother Arthur who was in the same trade. 

I can find no record of Henry's marriage to Elizabeth and suspect they were living together as man and wife.  I can also find no record of his death either.  The trail has run cold after 1911. 

Confusingly his brother Arthur lived for a while at 11 Nutt Street in Camberwell and some electoral records for the 1920s show a Henry Barker and Elizabeth living at the same address after Arthur had moved on.  I know that this Henry Barker is not the one I am searching for and merely a coincidence.   

Perhaps Henry was a casualty of WW1, but I have found no evidence of this yet.  There is a possible death entry for Stepney in 1936 that might be him - the only other candidate I have found was a record for 1926 in Paddington which I know now is not Henry.  I can also find no record of Henry migrating abroad. 

Consequently I'm stuck with a brick wall here - can anyone kindly offer some suggestions where I should look next? I have traced all of his brothers with ease but Henry is a dark horse for some reason.

Wendy/Claire - thank you, this looks a likely candidate.

Hello, as the subject title says, I am looking for information on the marriage between a Thomas Barker and Sarah Parkin which I understand took place in Whitgift on 29 May 1794.  Thanks in advance.
