Title: John Barker christened Upton Magna 1775
Post by: katlady on Monday 12 May 14 01:53 BST (UK)
Trying to find out what happened to John Barker who was christened in Upton Magna in April 1775, his parents were Thomas Barker and Eleanor Woodhouse.   Can see a John Barker in 1841 census living in Wrockwardine but not sure if it is him, can anyone check this census to see if it has anymore details please, katlady   :) :) :) :)

Hello all,

Believe I have discovered john and mary's daughter eleanor, born circa 1801 in wrockwardine, and another sister sarah born circa 1814.  now trying to track them down. I believe eleanor married joseph cooper, and sarah married james colley at some time.
