Hi Derbysderek,
Will the church be able to help me locate the grave. I did think there would be no headstone yesterday when we were looking. Thanks Veronica.

HI Don.,
My husband Peter and I went to Baslow Church yesterday. After searching the graveyard I went into the church. The Womens Institute have listed all the graves with date of death, death age, and where the graves are. I did hope to find Calebs mother and father but they were not on the list. I did find quite a few Barkers though.
I will send you the names etc. to see if they match anything you have. Be quite exciting if there is. Regards Veronica.

Hi Don,
Quite shocked at Caleb's demise!. I had got quite attached to him. The reason for my search started with finding out that my mum. had 9 siblings. We were only aware of 3, she had no contact with these 3 after the war, but they seemed to be really close before and during the war. Mum. had to leave her house in Sheffield with my 2 sisters because of bomb damage, my dad was in North Africa in the army. My paternal grandparents lived in Chesterfield to where my mum. went. None of my family can understand why my mother never talked about her other brothers and sisters. What we all surmised is that maybe some of them went to Australia. I will leave Caleb alone now, and concentrate on what happened to the rest of the brothers and sisters.  But your James Caleb Barker is definitely your g.g. grandfather. Are you in Australia?. Veronica.

Postscript to my original message re. Caleb. The 1841 census region Bakewell, both Baslow and Bubnell would come under this region. I only live 6 miles from Baslow.

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.

James Caleb Barker is my great uncle, brother of my grandmother Mary Stones nee Barker born 1864 died 1919. My mother was Gladys Mary Sanderson nee Stones, born 1/6/1905 died 18/7/1979. Just started this search but I have had a lot of help from someone at my local library.
