I thank everyone who has been trying to help till now to find out who the parents are of my 3x ggf William Barnard
I thought I would give some more details .
William Barnard was born approx. 1790-1792 . His gravestone says he was a Native of Yorkshire. He came to Canada with five of his six children approx. 1830-1831 and settled near Toronto, Canada.
I believe his wife's name was Ann, but unsure as to her last name, as there are several William Barnard's who married an Ann.
His children were:
1. Sarah Barnard born Bottesford, Lincolnshire 1817.
2. Elizabeth Barnard born May, 1819 in Cleatham, Lincolnshire
3. John Barnard, my 2x great grandfather born 1822 ? Wrawby, Lincolnshire but cannot find his birth registration except for a baptism record for July, 1824
4. Eliza Barnard born January 1824 in Cleatham, Manton, Lincolnshire
5. George Barnard born June 27, 1826 Thornton-Curtis, Lincolnshire.
Note: his obituary from Ontario Canada from 1911 says he was born in Lancashire, but I cannot find that.
6. Charles Barnard born 21 December, 1828 in Thornton-Curtis, Lincolnshire
-----all these children were born to parents William Barnard and Ann?
Another son, Amos Barnard was born in approx, 1832 in Ontario, Canada
If anyone can help me discover who William Barnard's parents were, I would appreciate it. I have located a birth registration for a William on January 10, 1790 father's name John, no mother named.
Birthplace Ellerton by Bubwith, Yorkshire.
Thanks again for your help.
