I may have some answers,and we could be related!I am in possession of a family bible referring to a Harriet Anne Barnes Fry born April 3rd 1857  who married a James Champ in 1873.They gave birth to my Great Grandmother Minnie Champ in 1884.It mentions Spetisbury Dorset ,the bible being the gift of Bishop Hall and Dr. Sloper in 1850.
What was the name of your GGGGGrandfather ?There are references to other members of the Barnes Fry family.He may be one of them.If we are related,have you managed to trace the family back any further?

Hi..it looks like we may be related . .my 3x gg father was George Barnes b 1826 and My 4 x great grandfather was Justinian Barnes b 1802 .  Harriet Ann was the sister of my gg grandmother Mary Ann ( daughters of George Barnes /fry and Mary Ann Holtham . ) the whole Barnes /fry saga has taken ages to sort out and I am still not sure why the family changes its name over the years . They are knows as Barnes , fry, Barnes fry, fry Barnes and wood on various census returns .!!!

Hi
Does anyone know where/ if  I can find info on someone who was working as a custon house officer in north wales & possibly Liverpool area approx 1890 -1900. would there  be official records held somewhere ?

The name is Robert Wynne Hughes and is listed as the father on my  GG Grandfathers marriage cert in 1895 ( Also listed  as father on GG uncles MArriage cert 1892 )

The Common Room / Re: Marriage Certificate puzzle
« on: Thursday 11 October 12 22:41 BST (UK)  »
I have a similar situation where the marriage certificates of 2 brothers show the same  person as the father. I cannot find birth records for either of the boys but have them on census records with their mother & grandfather and later with the mother and step father. I cannot find any reference to the father on any census, birth or death and no mariage to the boys mother either.  one of the brothers is my G Grandfather so I have hit a brick wall early on with this side of the family.

It is very frustrating !!!

Thanks Richard ,

I assumed that the two names oridinally from a marriage between a Barnes & Fry. My GGGG Grandfather is Justinian Barnes Bapt 1802 son of Thomas and Mary Barnes.  It looks Like Thomas Later Married Ann . ( Or Mary and Ann are the same person as there 4 generations of Mary Ann Barnes )

bapt records show 4 children of Thomas and Ann who are shown as Fry Otherwise Barnes  and 4 more as just Barnes.

 Justinians marriage shows him as Barnes and his children are bapt as Barnes. he is on on 1841/51/61 census as Justinian or Jesse Barnes then 1871 he appears as FRY along with his son George and Family.  
 Geroges Family all then go on to use Barnes or Fry or Barnes Fry or Fry Barnes . There are decendants using both Fry and Barnes.  Justinian moved around the country so I originally thought the name change was due to him hiding from something but maybe not as he returned to Spetisbury to die in 1879 as Jessie Barnes.  there are now 3 of us Barnes Fry ancestors working together to solve this. Me in the UK and  One in Australia and one in Canada.

Thanks

Dorset / Barnes Otherwise Fry
« on: Thursday 18 August 11 22:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi ...

I am trying to figure out why My GGGGGrandfather  suddenly changed his name from Barnes to Fry .

There are baptism and marriage records from the same parish ( Spetisbury Dorset )  for around  the same  time as my Ancestor for people known as  Barnes otherwise Fry and I think that there must be a link but have not been able to prove it yet.

 My question is  Why would a person be known as  Barnes otherwise Fry. ???

Thanks
