Hi
This is the only one in Cropton within 10 years of 1796
14 Nov 1794, John son of Pricala and John Barker, weaver
There are various alternative spellings of his mother's name for other baptisms, I assume it's really Priscilla. If you want details of the other baptisms and some deaths I can let you have them.

Hi
There are only two burials for a John Barker between 1800 and 1851. Priscilla was widowed before 1851 according to the census.
11 Dec 1813 John Barker of Cropton aged 77, occupation farmer. The occupation and age, I think, rule this one out
2 Jul 1826, John Barker of Cropton, aged 64, no occupation given. This one seems likely so he should have been been born c1762. There are no baptisms anywhere near this time in Cropton. The marriage in Kirkdale says he is otp so maybe he was born there.
There are Barkers galore in Kirkdale, but not many called John, fortunately.
There is one in 1751 and one in 1754. I think these are too early.
This is the most likely
25 Dec 1762, John son of George Barker of Wimbleton.
There are baptisms for his sisters Jane (29 Jun 1766) and Molly (25 Dec 1771)
The only marriage for a George Barker in Kirkdale is
2 Sep 1762, George Barker and Edith Graham, Witnesses - James Garbutt, James Barker. A little late, I know, but that's not unusual!
Burials in Kirkdale
25 Dec 1801, Edith, wife of George Barker of Wimbleton, 63 years
27 Sep 1824, George Barker of Wombleton, 87 years
None of this is proven to be your BARKER family, I'll leave that for you to decide.
Let me know if you need anything else

Hi,
Well, it would seem that the John Barker burial in 1826 would be the reasonable assumption. I agree that because the marriage said 'of this parish' that he would most likely be born in Kirkdale. It is unfortunate there are not ages listed with the marriage, or the parents names. That would certainly narrow down which 'John" to pursue, but I guess then, there wouldn't be the fun (or frustration) of all the detective work!
Eventhough the birth of 1751 and 1754 might be possibly the right person, the most likely, I agree , is John the son of George Barker of Wimbleton. Which, I guess now, sends me to Wimbleton. Would you possibly be able to help me out with finding these Barkers in Wimbleton? You have been incredibly helpful...I truly appreciate it!

Hi
First I must point out that Wimbleton and Wombleton are the same place. The spelling changed sometime in early 1800s.
The early Parish Records don't give much detail and, as I mentioned before, Barkers are everywhere!
There is a baptism for George Barker, son of John, of Wimbleton in Kirkdale 8 May 1737. This certainly ties in with the death I previously gave you. The only other possible baptism for a George Barker is 13 Sep 1713, his father is Robert.
I can't find a baptism for Edith but will keep trying.
Cheers
