Her name is Harriet Barker, her father is James Barker, she would have been born around 1813, Middlesex. Not a lot to go on I know!

Hi Cally,
I don't know if you've already seen these on www.familysearch.org ?
These are the nearest I can find:
HARRIETT ANN BARKER Birth: 06 JUL 1816
HARRIETT ANN BARKER  Christening: 04 AUG 1816 Saint Dunstan, Stepney
Harriot Barker  Christening: 28 SEP 1817 Hammersmith
All have fathers named James.
It may be that the baptism took place a bit late!
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Good luck!
Paulene :)

Hi Cally

The registers for Blackfriars have been deposited at the Guildhall Library in London.

Although baptisms at St Annes Blackfriars for the dates you are interested in have not been transcribed into the IGI, the LDS have microfilms of the registers

http://www.londonfhc.org/content/catalogue?c=12&p=England,England,London,St.+Ann+Blackfriars&f=1

do you have a family history centre near you where you could see the films?

http://www.londonfhc.org/content/other-uk-centres

You could then confirm or eliminate this from your research.

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, none of the centers are accessible to me at the moment. But I will keep it in mind for the future. Many Thanks, Carol
