(COMPLETED)Some Backround info on Charles Barker WHITE MESSENGER

[Neil Todd]

Thank you Judith

I did not have the information, it is exactly what I was after. It at least gives the reason for one of the names he used "Barker White Messenger".

I went looking for that family and could not find them, still cannot on 1841 census??

Another piece of the puzzle solved.

I can't see them in 1841 either, but nor can I see any of the others who are listed on the same pages and the next couple of pages 

So where did Barker White come from?

Thanks for the heads up Sue - I thought the name was familiar

I was interested in this thread and Ikey Solomon http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,470726.msg3307232.html#msg3307232

Mmm Connect all these threads. It is like War & Peace now on the original Queenie one.

I thought I had annoyed enough RC's with my threads. Umm might just complete this one, I think I have enough, I just bought the uncertified image of Charles's Death 1869 it tells me where he was buried. I was trying to see the name connection that his son had when he married Louisa Solomon in 1873. I started a thread on the US board as well it seems that BDM records in New York did not start untill 1881 We think we follow the US

One of the 16 down.

Did the DC say he was from Warwickshire?  And what did he die of?  He wasn't very old.

Do you have anything about Eliza?  I wonder if she married again.

Just came across a death notice but no more info except his address in Richmond.

Hmmm... If Charles was already deceased in Oct how did he find her body in Dec?
Possibly the son Charles not hubby?

Neil, did it give Charles occupation on his death cert?
