Hi

If you check freebmd there were only 2 births for that name in B'ham 1882-1889 and the entry for 1888 died in 1889

If you then look at the free 1901 index on the link below - there is no entry b Birmingam between ages 13-18

www.1901censusonline.com

Where did you get your info from that they were his parents?

hi CaroleW
                 thanks for reply, i found my grandfathers brother who was sent to canada from barnados, he ended up joining the canadian army,
and was killed 1918 just before the war ended, i have obtained his army records thanks to  KAREN M, on the instructions to send his pay it say's send to my brother ernest barnes, so he must of had a brother,
called ernest

                             regards jake

The 1891 shows sons Henry 2 and Joseph 9 - both b Birmingham

Charles and Alice only married 1888 so Ernest and Joseph must be  from Charles first marriage.

Charles and Alice married in Stafford - not Warwickshire - but there is only one Ernest Barnes birth in Staffs - 1884 - and 1891 shows him with his parents

hi again
            i know after they married they moved to birmingham,
joseph arthur was from his first marriage to ellen rouse which i can't find,
henry i found as you did then nothing els comes up on henry, so i think he eighther died or was sent abroad from a barnados home,
alice and charles died 1898 and 1899. joseph arthur i have most of his history as he was my grandfather, but the others seem to be a bit shy.
                      thanks for your help really appreciated

Hi

Are any other details shown for Ernest (eg) is he shown as next of kin

Which of the brothers was your grandfather - Henry, Joseph or Frederick?

Was Frederick born after 1891 (was he Frederick Charles b 1894)

[CaroleW]

I think the mystery may be solved

Births March qtr 1889   

Barnes  Ernest Henry     Aston  6d 261

              hi again, yes that looks promising they may have left the one name out, my grandfather only used arthur not his first name,

                 thanks again  appreciated
