Greetings once more minniehaha

Thank you for your additional postings which are much appreciated; during the imminent weekend of Saturday/Sunday May 7/8 I am for the first time visiting (my Second Cousin) Lloyd Barker, a son of Wynne Cuthbert Barker...

From 'mckha489' post above reading "His ashes were collected" relating to Norman Fetherstonhaugh Barker, who predeceased his wife by circa 10 years, and your posting of the Cemetery details relating to Daisy Ethel Barker stating Interment on 29/09/1973 at the Hamilton Park Cemetery, I wonder if perhaps they were both interred at the same place/same date...

Regards
Lindsay McLean   

Many Thanks for the generosity of your hasty reply...

The Will of the Reverend Joseph Barker...

Outstanding dathai - Indeed it is the Will of my Maternal Great Great Grandfather the Reverend Joseph Barker; What a find, What a Treasure !!! - THANK YOU SO MUCH - he died in Nervi, Italy, in 1879; where he might be buried, I am yet to discover...

The Campbell College Register lists Campbellian 363. Barker, Ernest Lindsay Bucknall, as the son of L.B Barker, Ardenza, Donegall Park Avenue, Belfast. My Great Grandfather Charles Joseph Barker b. 21 MARCH 1844 in Dublin, is the older brother of Samuel Lindsay Bucknall Barker b. 27 September 1846 in Dublin - Charles Joseph Barker emigrated from Ireland to New Zealand in 1875. I am seeking any information relating to the 'Barker' Ancestral Family, Descendants, deceased or living, and would very much welcome and invite contact from any living descendants of the Samuel Lindsay Bucknall Barker, or, Ernest Lindsay Bucknall Barker families...
