[AnneMc]

Could SKS look up on the 1851 census for the following family. I am have a very hard time find the birth/batism record for George Barker and his marriage. He states on all the census records I have from 1861 - 1881 that he was born in Eckington, Derby. But unable to find him.


George      Barker        49        Eckington
Hannah                        54           "
George                         22           "
Charles                        20            "     (grgrgrandfather)
Eliza                             18            "
Rosetta                         15           "


Thank you for any help.

Hello Anne,

I take it the ages you state are from the 1861 Census?  Here's what there is on the 1851 name index -

BARKER
George - 39
Hannah - 43
Sarah - 14
George - 12
Charles - 10
Eliza - 8
Rosetta - 5

                     (HO107/ 2148/ 258/ 48)

"2148" covers Eckington.  I am unable to do a full look-up as the 1851 census is not yet available on CD ROM.  I will take a look on the 1841 census for Eckington though, and see if I can find them on that.

Hi
        I have checked the 1851 census image and all i can add to what bagpuss as Posted, is the address is given as just "Egington"
there is an extra son Joseph, aged 19, he is a Coal miner as were George,39
and George, 12, Charles,10 and Eliza, 8 are Scholars and they are all born Egington.

Hello Bagpuss and Alvaston Lad:
Thank you very much for the information. It gives me something more to work with, as I did not know about the son Joseph. So know I will have another go at trying to find the marriage.  What is making it hard to track down George Barker is that there is another George Barker born in Eckington about the same time and I thought that was my George then I realized he was married to someone else!!  Oh back to the drawing board as they say.

Thanks again.

Hello David:
Thank you for the offer. Could you look in the parish records for the birth of a George Barker born ca. 1811 - 12 according to the 1851 and 1861 census. He states that he was born in Eckington.  I had looked at the parish records on a trip to SLC but I thought I had found him but it turned out to be someone else named George Barker as I found him married to somebody else.

Also have not been able to find a death for him as well. As he stayed in Eckington right up to the 1881 census, not on 1891 think he died between those years I he would be buried in Eckington.

Also having trouble finding a marriage for George Barker to a Hannah???
Their first child was named Joseph Barker born ca. 1832 according to 1841 census so think they must have married around 1831.

Thank you for taking the time to look for me.  Maybe a fresh pair of eyes can find the baptism record for George!!

Thanks again

  Ok Anne, leave it with me, I live near Derbyshire Archives and also knew some of the Barker family from Eckington, I believe some are still around, I don't get to Eckington much these days, I might be a couple of weeks.
