[I am a Gresham College employee, which is how I came across this, but I thought that it would be appreciated if I were to fill out some details and to direct people to a couple of resources about Barnard's Inn online].

Since 1991, Barnard's Inn has been the home of Gresham College, London's oldest higher education institution (dating back to 1597, when we were initially based on Cheapside in London). We hold regular free public lectures and events within the hall.

There is a rather detailed description about the hall on our website, which can be found her:
     http://www.gresham.ac.uk/form.asp?PageId=40

Here you will find the interesting aside that Charles Dickens uses Barnard's Inn as a setting for parts of 'Great Expectations', which are believed to be accurate descriptions at least of Dickens' feelings about the place (as negative as they are!).

If you are looking for pictures of the Inn, we have some nice picture (inside and out, in sun and snow) on our facebook page:

I hope that this contributes to the discussion. - James

This is a bit of a long shot but have any of you found a lawyer called Charles Humphreys b. 1795 was in the "Clan of Lawyers" he was probably related to Christmas Humphreys and Teavers Humphreys though I have not found evidence of this as of yet. Any clues?

I know there was  a Charles Humphreys of 5 Barnard Inn, Holborn but I am yet to establish that he was one and the same charles. He apparently was the nephew of Peter Paul Benazech.

Does any of this help anyone at all

Thanks

Charles

Well that is kind of you.

My Charles Humphreys was born in 1795 and his son Charles was Christened is December 1839.

Sounds like they were part of the same family as it was usual to call the first borne Charles.  I have a hunch that if Charles had a cousin or nephew that he may well have called his son Charles just as their fathers would have done before them.

You would happen to know if anyone of these Charles Humphreys worked for W C Humphreys at Humphreys and Percival????

Thanks

Charles

I should add that I know these a very well to be two separate lines but I can't help thinking they re related.

Hi
Where was your Charles born? to give me an idea of who I am looking at.
When did he die and did he appear on the census at all.

Hi this is very nice of you.

I can send you some documents that I have over the email.

My email is * and we can communicate this was as I can attach things.

But in answer to your question he appears on the 41 census onwards. Living in Stanford Hill.  You can identify him as his wife was Eliza (might have been a short version of Elizabeth) and he had 7 daughters and 3 sons, however, ambrose wasn't born until around 1843. So he doesn't appear on the 1841 census but he does appear on the 1851 of course. He lived at least from 1841 at no. 1 Victoria Place

Here is the possible street name - there is several streets or roads but I can find a place but this gives you the idea. He would have been a reasonably wealthy man.
This is the only Victoria Place in London that I can see but this is Richmond.

Do you have access to acenstry.com.au or do you have access to New.familysearch.org then you could see al things or I can send you a PDF of what it all looks like.

Thank you so much

Charles
