Hi, I am trying to find the parents of Moses Barnes, who was married in (Cheltenham, I believe) Tewkesbury district in 1844.
I have found him and his family, (wife Tryphina) in subsequent censuses. 1851 census gives his age as 27 and occupation as gardener, born in Cheltenham.
If anyone could help I should be very grateful!
Thanks.
Madwith.

Hi Everybody
I was suprised to see so much info. about my Great Grandfather Moses. I am wondering who
else would be interested in my family. What bothers me a little is that as far as I know Moses
didnt have any middle names, where does the name Meacham come from? I am new at this
so am grateful for any help I can get. Looking foward to hearing from somebody about anything to do with my family. Thanks

Hi Rosie99
Thanks for the info. I am trying to find out who Moses father and mother were. I figured it
would be on a death certificate but cant even find one. Where do I find this death Registration?
Appreciate your help thanks

Welcome from me too.
His baptism details, including his parents' names, was posted at reply #5 - along with a suggested marriage for the parents.
You can find his death registration on FreeBMD or GRO Online. You'd need to order the death certificate from GRO Online for full details.

English death certificates do not name parents

Hi again all, thanks in advance for your help.
What is puzzling me is that Victor said Moses BARNES, son of James & Ann, a Gardener of Cheltenham, baptised at St Mary, Cheltenham, March 28th, 1823. however according to my
info. James and Ann didnt have a son called Moses. I may be wrong and would really be pleased
to find out without doubt who Moses mother and father were. Thanks again and have a good weekend.

You really need Moses marriage certificate to see who he named as his father.
The entry that Victor has posted regarding James and Ann as Moses parents is from the church baptism record
