Robert Barkas
« on: Friday 14 January 05 13:27 GMT (UK) »

I wonder if someone can help me find the marriage of Robert Barkas and Catherine Hamilton, (whose son Robert was born in 1861 in Littletown)
This would give me their ages and birthplaces, they are my great great grandparents.

Perhaps mother and son (9yrs old by then) might appear on 1871 census? Which may or may not give me any other clues. Father was deceased by the time the son was born.

And  possible for Catherine. There is a marriage for Catherine Barkas Jun 1870 Durham 10a499. One of the male names is Robert Raper.

1871 RG10 4958 167 54
Quebec Cottages Esh Durham
Robt Raper head 26 cartman Carlton Yorks
Cath Raper wife 27 Caybeck Yorks
Margt B Raper dau 7 Little Town
Peter B Raper son 5 Little Town
William Raper son 5 months Esh

Given the fact that she is Yorkshire born (as is Ann Hamilton in the last posting) and has children born in Littletown I think this is a real possible.
