Hi

Thanks for your response - well I wasn't aware of Evelyn so that's something new. I think Earnest W Barter was my grandfather's half brother and was William Barter's son from a previous marriage as he when he married Frances in 1885 he was a stated as a widower

I had found christening records for Ernest barter with mother listed as Emma Harriet so presumed this was correct one and Ernest was a half brother. Haven't got money to send for every certificate so have concentrated on my family with the certificates.  It seems there are several people stuck with Frances so I wonder what happened to her ?

Yep found that record as well - couldn't find a death record for his mother Emma Barter though unless Ernest was actually christened when he was two (there's an Emma Barter buried in Lymington in May 1882).

Frances is on odd one though - I can only assume she left England but could find no records of her on passenger lists.  Did find some newspaper items on her conviction though - I guess you've found these too?

I found a listing of a conviction but haven't seen a newspaper article.  I wondered if Frances went to America as I found other norris family there, she is a frustrating one, I expect someone will crack it one day.

Hi

If you're interested in reading the articles there are three that I found:

1. Bristol Mercury 28 Jan 1879 Page 6 Col 5 or Western Gazette 31 Jan 1879 Page 7 Col 4
2. Bristol Mercury 11 Feb 1879 Page 6 Col 4 or Western Gazette 14 Feb 1879 Page 7 Col 3
3. Bristol Mercury 8 Apr 1879 Page 6 Col 4 or Western Gazette 11 Apr 1879 Page 6 Col 2

Basically the same text in each - I guess the papers were owned by the same people

Interesting you say America - I have a hunch it might be Canada but nothing firm to base that on really...

Thank you I will take a look

What website did you find the articles on? I seem to go round in circles and find nothing.

Hi I have also been trying to trace Frances Barter formaly Tratt nee Norris for about 15yrs with no luck either.
I have been in contact with Norris family in the USA re: Frances but they have no knowledge of her so that is no help. The one person I did ask who might have know never answered when I last wrote but there is one other Norris family member I have just remembered and I will try and contact them to see if they have any knowledge of her. Other then that I am stuck as to where to go next. Have posted messages on Genealogy web sites again with no luck. I even looked at her husband's grave stone ( William) and the wills of her son's trying to find any information that might help. Once again nothing.
