Hi Mudrick,

Welcome to Rootschat!

I've looked at the 1871 census, but there are quite a few Arthur Barkers born about 1864. None of them born Bromley by Bow.

Do you know who Arthur and Mary's parents were, or what Arthur's father did for a living?

'The Square'

All kids born Saffron Walden ...
 
John Barker 41  Head Journeyman Bricklayer Essex, Saffron Walden
Ann Barker 38  Wife Essex Elmdon
Nathaniel Barker 16  son Brickies Lab
Alfred Barker 15 son Plasterer's Lab
William Barker 12 son
John P Barker 10    son
Mary L Barker 8  dau
Arthur Barker 7   son
Mary Barker 5 dau
Lucy Barker 3  dau
Spencer V Barker  son under 1 month (and something else illegible)



So where does Bromley by Bow come into the picture - was a bit confusing  

[Necromancer]

the only Essex marriage of a John and Ann is in 1851 Dunmow .....

In 1881 Arthur (b Saffron Walden) is lodging with the Rainbow family in Castle Street, Saffron Walden and working as a fishmonger's assistant.
