The only Barker I can remember from Streethouse was Martin and he lived on Litelroyd but that wasn't his given name, he moved to Sharlston and worked at the colliery there, his name may have been Edward. Was my mums age so DOB circa 1920

Hi, Evelina and Walter were my grandparents. Never met them as they died long before I was born. George Douglas (Dougie) was my dad and he grew up in Church Lane before serving in North Africa and Palestine. I met my Aunt Joyce when I was a boy, she visited us from South Africa. I believe her daughter was still alive not long ago, my brother would have more details. I might be able to provide more details privately. I think you have listed there my Aunt Ada who I remember being in a wheelchair. The oldest daughter was my Aunt Mary who’s son Walter died on HMS Hood in 1941 aged 20. I also had an uncle Walt whom I met again when I was a boy but died in the late 1980s if I recall, he lived somewhere in London.
