Hi Joanne.  I think we were in contact years ago but I have lost your e-mail address.  I would be very happy to send you the transcript of the letter sent to me by Barb in Canada.  She has the original.  I can also send you the info I have since discovered including the fact Enos & Ellen lived in Brisbane for a time! I did find the birth of Sarah in Brisbane but I must have the wrong birth for William as I thought he was born in Derbyshire.
Nice to hear from you.

Thanks for that wealth of information about the school.  The John Binns in my family went on to become a stone mason according to the successive census reports.  His father was also a stone mason and his uncle a builder.
Cheers, DelB

Hi Jan,
So excited to hear from you and know you have those wonderful photos!  I have never seen a photo of John Wilkinson Barker's sister Mary.
I have contacted you on your e-mail address.
Thank you Rootschat!

Thanks everyone for that wonderful information.
Nothing like local knowledge to fill in gaps, and from Australia I really appreciate that.
The Lincolnshire Archives provide a great service in searching out information for people who can't get to the centre.  I have just used it for another family branch and received excellent results.
I will follow up the LFHS booklet too.
Thanks again,
DelB

Hi Ricky,
Thanks for that prompt reply. 
How interesting that the school still exists but in such a different format (I imagine).
My relative had lost his mother and his father had remarried so I guess this would have been a boarding school at that time (1861).

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,
I have found one of my relatives, John Binns in the 1861 census as a scholar at the Blue Book School, Christ Hospital, Lincoln.
Can anyone tell me anything about the school please?  There are both boys and girls names on the list of scholars.
Thanks,
DelB

Thanks Jenn,
Are there any deaths for William and Margaret Barker?
I know when my Grandfather died (1931 in Townsville) so if I know when William died I can perhaps place him as a relative.
Many thanks,
DelB
