Derbyshire / James BARKER in Baslow
« on: Tuesday 20 December 11 06:05 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for information of my gg-grandfather JAMES BARKER born in about 1830 in Baslow. I have a birth cert of my g-grandfather with his parents as James and Maria Woolhouse in Feb 1855. Then stepping back through census returns I have
1871 in Ecclesall Bierrlow, James birth is listed as Baslow.
1861 in Sheffield, the return is for James C Barker born in Baslow. The initial C appears only in this census
1851 cannot find a James But there is Caleb Barker born in Baslow about 1831. Is Caleb the name the the initial in 1861 refers to?
1841 in Bakewell, Caleb Barker is living with his mother Sarah.
The twist to this is that I haven't found a marriage cert for James and Maria, but there is one for Caleb and Maria in Sheffield.
So can anyone tell me if the was a birth in about 1830 for a Caleb, a James, or a Caleb James Barker. Or are there two Barkers born in Baslow at that time. How do I find out from the parish records?
