Baptisms
St George in the East, Middlesex.
11 Aug 1816 (born 29 Dec 1814) Susannah Eliza Barnes dau of Joseph and Elizabeth, servant. Born in the parish of Keysoe in the county of Bedford.
20 Sept 1818 (born 27 Jul 1818) Rebecca Barnes dau of Joseph & Elizabeth, labourer of Turner St
10 Jun 1821 (born 14 Feb 1821) Joseph Samuel Barnes son of Joseph & Elizabeth,  Brewer's servant of Taling? St

The baptism of Susannah begs the question as to why she was baptised twice (or was she - the 3 Dec 1815 date may be fiction), but the 1816 baptism entry thankfully provides the evidence that links Joseph and Elizabeth to Beds, and Keysoe is only four miles from Bletsoe. As they seem to have been lax about baptising her promptly, perhaps John wasn't done at all.

A Susanna Barnes, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth, baptised at Bletsoe on 3 Dec 1815.  As I said I'm in SE Asia and don't have access to certain resources that are available in Sydney. So I can't check the shipping reel for the 'Bussorah Merchant'
to see what it says about Susanna. I don't know if it lists a place of birth or her parents or not. Also I don't have access to the source that says she "... had entered the Refuge for the Destitute in 1831" and two years later was offered the possibility of emigration which she took with her father's permission. I don't know what it might say about her father other than a brewer's servant at 2 Collingwood Street,  Spitalfields, East London.

The above baptism, and her father's occupation in 1821 would seem to tie up very neatly with the Susannah Eliza who emigrated in 1833

Good morning,  with Keysoe baptisms not on the IGI: from the transcript there is a baptism of William son of Joseph & Elizabeth Barnes on 8 July 1810. That's the only Barnes there for that timespan.

cheers John

Isabella Barnes

A quick search found a current image of the house at Mosman NSW where Isabella lived for over 20 years before her death in 1925. The house is called 'Hendon', 4 Punch Street, Mosman NSW and was built  in the Federation style about 1899.

Thanks for the photo of the Mosman house.

I have recently started doing research on the family, and my father has also done a lot of research as well. If you have anything I can help with in particular, please let me know. I am a direct descendant of this family and have been putting quite a bit of info together as I can find bits and pieces.

Regards,

Philip.

Hi Silky,

My 3rd Great Grandfather was John Barnes (married to Elizabeth), and my Great Grandmother was Jane Barnes (married to Alfred Edward, son of Thomas whose Father was John).

Hope that answers your question...
