Hopefully someone will be able to help. I am trying to trace John Barker born 1829 Langdale by Ambleside Westmorland. I found a birth on the IGI that lists mother as Margaret Barker.
I have found John's wife Isabella a widow visiting my Barker relatives in Otley in 1901 & I'm trying to trace back to see if these are relatives or just a name coincidence, I know a branch of my Barker family went to live Kendal Lancashire area in 1800's. I'm hoping the earlier census may help me piece them together. Any help gratefully received Sandra (nee Barker)
nothing likely in Ambleside or Langdale but found this family in Hawkshead:
John Barker H M 54 Painter & Glazier LAN Hawkshead Margaret Barker W M 50 WES Langdale Jonathan Barker S U 24 Painter & Glazier LAN Hawkshead John Barker S U 22 Tailor LAN Hawkshead Henry Barker S U 20 Painter & Glazier LAN Hawkshead Robert Barker S 17 Painter & Glazier LAN Hawkshead Joseph Barker S 10 Scholar LAN Hawkshead Mary Milligan Serv 13 House Servant LAN Manchester
If you don't have it already I would try and obtain John & Isabella's marriage certificate which will hopefully confirm occupation and father. Or you could try the 1861 census via 1837online to see if you can find them married by then.

Hi Sue Thank you for looking pretty sure this isn't them.
I have found them in 1861 & John is a Iron miner. Also in 1871 got another clue as brother in law Joseph Brockbank is visiting, so now have found the marriage of John to Isabella Brockbank in 1854 in Bootle Cumberland. First son born in Bootle.They are in Urswick by 1861. Thank you for your help it is much appreciated. Regards Sandra
When you get John & Isabella's marriage certificate may be worth posting back for an 1851 lookup for his family if you get his father's name. Although if he was illegitimate Margret may have re-married and could have a new surname!
