Hi Don.,
Sorry, my mistake, I am quite new to this. Caleb was my maternal grandmother, Mary Stones' (nee Barker) father. I've had help from a librarian at my local library who's also a genealogist. I've got info. back to George and Sarah Barker's children, Caleb (James) was next to the youngest born 7.3.1830 in Baslow . The 1841 census when Caleb was 11 they were living in Bubnell which is part of Baslow.
We do have 2 very old photo's. of relatives in Australia, but I have to find out which member of my family has them. Caleb and Septimus were known as Barker Brothers, Herbalists 263 Victoria Street Melbourne. Septimus died whilst visiting his son 25 April 1915 @ 9 Carson Street Kew Melbourne. I still have to collate all the info. I have. My friend did say it was quite difficult researching Caleb because of being known as James as well. He emigrated from Glasgow to Brisbane in 1883 and moved to Melbourne to be with Septimus later ( don't know when though). Hope you have a little bit more info. from this. Veronica Element nee Sanderson.
