Hi Laffarsmith

Welcome to Rootschat  

Are you looking for forther information on these people ie. the parents of William Joseph BARKER bc1866 

If so, do tell us a bit more about them ie. do you have William Joseph on any census or any details from his marriage certificate.

This posting might get a better audience and, hopefully, some response if it is moved to one of the county boards which we can do for you when we have a better idea of where these events took place.

Best wishes

Ok, since you asked, I'll expound a little more. I'm actually looking for anyone with connections to these Barker's. I know there are a lot of Barker's out there and it has been hard tracking down this specific family. I also hope that other's searching for this family will find this post when searching for the Barker name and be able to tell if this is the correct Barker family for their records (and contact me too) :-).

I've not had any luck finding this family in the 1881 so if anyone can I'd love to know the details.

I have found William Joseph BARKER in the 1901, he was a Cabinet Maker living with his family at 64 Queens Road. I believe I have his wife Emily WARWICKER's birth index. I have his son William Charles BARKER's marriage and death entries.

And records from William Charles onward to Norah Edith and Ruth Magdalene onwards are more complete. Norah Edith is my maternal grandmother.

I would love any more details beyond William Joseph and the siblings Nelly, Amy and Elizabeth and anything at all about this family of BARKER's.

Any reason not to have the post here and again on the county board? Would that increase the chances of people searching for this family finding them? As a newbie I looked here first because the arrangement of surname primarily made things easier to see if anyone else was looking for the same thing.

Hi Laffar ...............

Rootschat guidelines require that posts are not duplicated ................ there being several reasons for this ie. people spending a lot of time looking for information that has already been supplied on another post and the boards not being cluttered with duplicate posts/requests. 

As you could probably do with a bit of help to locate this family in the various census returns, it will do much better on one of the county lookup requests boards which those with the available resources check regularly to see if there is anything they can help with 

I think most people new to the board enter a search for their surnames so the post would come up in the results for BARKER.

I hope this makes sense to you.

Best wishes

Emily wife 31 b.Hoxton

etc. etc.

lol Wow! You're quick and right on the ball. I couldn't have done that just then. My records only had the basics of that entry and until my new credit card arrives later this week I'm unable to get back into anything but the 1881 census records from Ancestry.com Thanks so much for posting it for me. I've learnt a fair bit about genealogy in the past couple of months while not having access to the other census records so when I do get back in I'll be copying all of the information directly to my records. :-)

Since you've already been so much help Casalguidi, how would I go about moving this thread to a county board? I'm not sure where exactly Hoxton is, does it count in Islington or Shoreditch, is it a part of Middlesex? (I'm trying to get familiar with English maps but at the moment most of it seems rather overwhelming.)

Hi laffarsmith

This link gives a good guide on posting for lookups http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,8643.0.html

I would suggest for Hoxton (which incidentally comes under Shoreditch) to post in the London Lookup Requests.

Good Luck with your research
