Hello,
My mother's father was Horatio Barnaby, son of Charlotte Barnaby and one of a number of brothers. His father died in the gas yards in Gateshead and his mother re-married a James Beattie.
I do believe we are related. I would love any information regarding the Barnaby side of the family, we too know of James Beattie as a bit of a brute but also that Charlotte had a bit of a soft spot for her son Horatio (my grandfather) who was born with polio leading to slight disfigurement. My mother has always wondered about the Norfolk aspect of her family, but also was told Charlotte Pratt had lived in London also? I would love any information that you have regarding their family history.
Many thanks,
Jenny
