Are you willing to share the name of this person or is he/she still alive?  If not still alive us Rootschatters may be able to help you.

There's someone down as Bames which could be Barnes in disguise if you want to check that one out.

His birth looks like it was in 1890 as there is a birth record DQ 1890 St. Ives 3b 255

I have found an 1891 census record which looks like him

Registration district of   St Ives RG12 Piece no. 1239, Folio 25, Page 15

Parents are George and Mary A.

Have a look and see what you think.

I can see the entry you mention on family search but as you say it does not seem to be there?
