Brick wall cannot william barker pre 1866
« on: Wednesday 02 March 16 22:03 GMT (UK) »
 Can anyone help me. I'm looking for a William Barker he was married to Janet Moore nee McFarquhar (she was a widow ). Janet McFarquhar was born 13 August 1843 St Pancras London England . William Barker and Janet married 9th October 1866 in Wanganui New Zealand , on his marriage certificate he gave his age as 30 years old, and claimed to be a seaman.
In an 1877 court case in Blenheim  he gave his as a mariner, but had been working in a livery stable , but had to stop due to ill health. ( Marlborough express 5 December 1877 ) In 1892 at his daughter's wedding he gave hi occupation as a sail maker. He was a bit of a rouge and not very pleasant, he had a few brushes with the law. He also lived in a few places Wanganui , Wellington and Blenheim

Hello Royston123,

Welcome to Rootschat.......

As a suggestion, you could request a look up of an Intention to Marry document in respect of William Barker. This would give an indication as to how long he had been residing in the area where he intended to marry (not necessarily how long he had lived in New Zealand).

For the information to be found on such a document, go to the resources page to be found at the top of the first page:

"New Zealand Resources & Offers"

It may pay to start a new topic asking for the look up......

   Hi spades, Thank you for getting the intention to marry register record , I found it most informative . Is there any records I could look for, to find out if it was Janet's house were they married , and would there be any records around May/ June 1865 for William Barker

Hi Royston,

I no longer have the image I sent you. What was the place of intended marriage on the ITM?

I would suggest an approach to a local branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists (search 'nzsg branches') or a local library or family history society for more information.

Hi Royston

In your initial post you've given some detail on William BARKER ..."on his marriage certificate .... "

The actual place of marriage should be noted on the certificate ... and also noted on the ITM.
[e.g.  ... at the house of Mr Joe BLOGGS   ... ]
