Mary Barnes 1861 Southwark

[ladyynara]

Hit a bit of a brick wall.  Looking for a Mary Barnes (possibly Mary Ann Barnes) born in Southwark 1861. Married a Henry John Saunders (sometimes listed as Harry) and had children Mary Ann, Ernest, Eliza, Ellen, Rebecca and May.  By 1911 only Mary, Rebecca (my great grandmother) and May are listed.  The census is a complete mess so to be honest I'm not sure if Mary was quite all there it's that bad.  I've really not found any evidence of her birth or parents yet, which is what I'm after. I'm only about 85% sure her name was Barnes as I haven't yet got Rebecca's birth certificate to confirm. 1891 and 1901 they are in Southwark, 1911 they are in Bermondsey.

Have you got the marriage cert which should name her father and give his occupation?

EDIT if you have not purchased one of the children's birth certificates, then how/where does the Barnes surname come from?
