Norfolk / William Barnes
« on: Monday 12 November 12 15:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Can anyone help me with my research into my maternal great great great grandfather William Barnes, born 29 May 1814 in Massingham, Norfolk? I have his marriage to Ann Codling on 20th Nov 1841, the witnesses were George Codling and Elizabeth Barnes.

I have been unable to find William's parents. Do I need to search local record offices to get the information? If so can someone post the links.

Also does anyone know the historical reason why members of a family of farm labourers would migrate to Sunderland to work in heavy industry between 1871 and 1881? Did something happen to reduce the amount of farm work, possibly the introduction of machinery?

Thanks for your help.

Lanarkshire / Aitken - Govan, Lanark

Hi,

I've traced my paternal ancestors back to Scotland.

On the Scotlandspeople website my ancestors were:

Thomas Aitken b.1786
Janet Stewart Glen b.1786

Married 17 July 1818 in Govan
Ref 646/000 020 0325 Govan

How do I find out who the parents were? They are not given on copy of the marriage register on Scotlandspeople.

Also whats the best way to get as far back as possible in previous generations?

Thanks for your help.

Hi

I'm trying to confirm that joseph aitken born 1827 in govan, lanarkshire is the same joseph aitken on the 1881 census living in sunderland with his daughter and her husband (surname sinclair).
The 1881 census gives his birth place as scotland.
Can anyone help?
