thats Thomas completed.

I think I have now found you the complete lives of all the boys (John, William Sayers, Thomas, Walter Goodyer) plus Sarah.

So that leaves the rest of the girls (Jane, Ann, MAry Jane, and Elizabeth) for another day, or for someone else to have a go at!!
I guess they all married (or died) as they havent come up in my Barker searchings.

I think you have done brilliantly lizdb!   Velcro - you could have found some of this yourself on FreeBMD and www.familysearch.org and the 1881 census.  Much more satisfying in a way to do it yourself.  Have a look for possible marriages for the girls and then see if you can find them with spouse in 1881 (if they lived that long!)  - born in the right place and you are away!   It will keep you happy for hours once you get on the trail.  At least I find it so!

Is there a death record for and marriage record for Jane Barker nee Unknown  to William Sayers Barker?

Looks like the family is into assisting in making ale? Corn merchant and malsters???
