John William Barnes

Thank you.

Did she raise John William or was he raised by the man named as his guardian ?

He was an evacuee from London during WW2. That is what I have been told.

George Barnes was born April 4th 1870 Kensington. Parents are George Barnes and Martha Emma Elizabeth Harrison.

George Barnes was born September 5th 1848 Middlesex. Married October 10th 1874 Tilehurst Reading Berkshire. Parents are Robert Barnes and Jane (Wright? Father is John Wright?) There is one conflicting source with a different name).

Robert Barnes was listed as born at various years. 1822 being most likely? Father George Barnes (again, seems a pattern)


Martha Elizabeth Harrison was born June 25th 1846 Walworth Surrey. Died Feb 13th 1908 Fulham. Married October 10th 1874 Tilehurst Reading Berkshire. Parents are Joseph Harrison and Elizabeth Main. I can't find a marriage of parents yet to confirm but I found someone who had father of Joseph Harrison as George Harrison Elizabeth Main born 1821 but father listed as Joseph Mayer.

Any feedback on if above is looking correct before I proceed? I'm happy to order GRO PDFs.

Mum Elizabeth died not long after Martha's baptism when they were living on New Street.

Elizabeth Harrison of Hill Street was buried 4 October 1846 aged 32.

The marriage of Joseph Harrison is to Elizabeth Todd or Tadd. She was a widow, father Joseph Mayer a sawyer. Took place at Emmanuel, Camberwell on 7th September 1845.

After Elizabeth died Joseph Harrison went on to marry Charlotte Cripps at St Mary Newington on 18 June 1848 - I have checked Joseph's signature in both registers - they are the same

Elizabeth Mayer married Henry Frederick Tadd in 1842 - father Joseph Mayer deceased.

Thank you.

I'm not sure about that marriage in Berkshire 1874 - it's after the birth of George in 1870, not unusual but there is this one (not online that I can see), from FreeBMD

Thank you. I had his father marriage as Kensington too. Makes sense that they would stay in the area but the census are confusing.

No responses from the private member trees yet.

Archibald Henry Edward Hunt baptised 7th March 1909 at St Andrew and St Philip, Kensal Green, Kensington and Chelsea, England
Father was Archibald Aneande Hunt and mother Evelyn Rosina Hunt

Is this the correct one from online archives? I can order the birth certificate if that helps?

Edit: I found what appears to be siblings, they had two middle names each and they weren't always used on the different sources. I'll see if I get any replies to my messages on Anc*****

Edit: I have found a bit more. I'll compare when I get replies.
