Suffolk / Re: Connecting Child and Parent?

Thanks for the info.I will follow follow through on that.I had rather suspected that Jane had taken Thomas to Mendham (she was from St.Cross) because the father of Thomas William was Samuel Self the person that Jane married in London in 1868.He originated in Mendham but was in London in 1851 and 1861.Jane was also in London in 1861.My thinking was that she had gone to Mendham because Samuels family was there.As it turned out Jane had other connections to Mendham, the Mitchell family who were from St. Cross, and also there were Barber family members living there.So I can not assume she was involved with the Self family.What I find interesting is that throughout his life Thomas as he moved from one border village to another was very often living in close proximity to Barber family members and yet I have never found them inder the same roof, as a witness to Thomas's marriage, or even the use of family names .The Mitchell family had other 'boarders' and a 'nurse child' or two who stayed with them into adulthood and beyond.Perhaps they actually became family.Anyway, a very interesting social issue that I must explore. :)

Suffolk / Connecting Child and Parent?
« on: Monday 07 August 06 06:59 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help me with my dilema.My g.grandfather Thomas William Barber was born in London in January 1857 the illigitimate son of Jane Barber.He was baptized in Mendham in November 1857.He appears next on the 1861 census as 'a visitor' with the Mitchell family in Mendham and likewise for 1871 at another location.By 1881 he is married and living in Alburgh, Norfolk.By process of elimination I have located his mother Jane and her family as being from South Elmham, St. Cross.However, at no time do I have Thomas living with his mother during a census, nor did the baptismal record that I saw tie them together. I would like to find some documental evidence that the Jane Barber that I have identified as his mother is actually his mother before putting her in my family tree.Does anyone have a suggestion?Have I missed something?

Thanks. ???

Thanks!That is a great help.I think that in 1841 census the James is a transcription error and it is in fact Jane.There are a couple of siblings I did'nt know about and a tie to Mendham which is a lead I have been looking for.I really appreciate your help.Keep up the good work.

Pauline. :)

Hi,

Thanks for the help.I appreciate that.Jane's fathers name was William Barber b. c1815 St. Elham. St.Cross.Janes mothers name was Mary although William turns up later with a wife Elizabeth.I was unable to find Willliam in 1861 so am unsure where he was or what was happening with him.

Cheers, Pauline

I would really appreciate it if someone could look up the following address in the 1851 census for london:
20 Star Street, Paddington. I am hoping to find people by the name of Barber living there.

thanks Pauline F.
