Death and Marriage Records for Henry Barber b. 1760

[tinkerbell5]

I'm looking for the Death and Marriage Records for Henry Barber.

Henry was born in 1760 in Melbourne, his baptism was on 6 May 1760, also in Melbourne. His parents were Henry Barber and Mary Kirkman.

I have no idea when he married; I do know her name was Mary. This was probably in Melbourne as all of his children were also born there.

If anyone could help I'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance.

When was his first child born?

There is this marriage transcription for Melbourn but surname is BarKer not BarBer

Henry Barker to Mary Smedley
1787 St Michael Melbourn Derbyshire
No witnesses entered
Signed   X

Do you have him on any censuses?
Do you know his occupation?

There are a few death entries for persons named
Henry BARBER
reg. district Shardlow
(Melbourne is in this registration district)
no ages given years 1839, 1843, 1856, 1864

I only have two children listed:

Thomas Barber born 1787 (died 1831) and Mary Barber born 1789 (no other records found) both in Melbourne.

No I can't find him on any Censuses, but that would make him 81 so I thought it unlikely for him to be there. Still there's a chance I may have missed something.

The marriage you have found looks correct though! It would tie in with the time his son was born also!

Thank you!

family search has this 1793 death entry Melbourn for a Henry Barber

Thank you for that! I have it linked to another Henry Barber, but this may be a mistake. Parish Records are so hard to go off

Hi

Phillimore's transcript has

Thomas Barker = Mary Smedley
He states there is no date  and no witness signatures to this marriage, however the entry occurs BETWEEN an entry for 15 May and 29 Nov 1786 not 1787.

I cannot find any BarKer births in Melbourne under BarBer

Thomas 1787
Mary 1789
And then with parents of the same name Elizabeth Bpt 26.12.1790 Swarkestone Derbyshire.

A MARY Barber married William EARP 25 Jan 1808, St Michael with St Mary, Melbourne
Bachelor/Spinster
(FreeREG)

F/S has Children to them 1811-1821 Melbourne
+ a possible Daug ANN 1831 Walton upon Trent

If the right Family Mary must have died 1831-1841 as in 1841 we have in Melbourne;
William Earp, 60
Ann Earp, 20
Rebecca Bennett, 10

Worth noting.

Just for fun...I have (had!) a long correspondence with a lady  in Melbourne, who swears blind that the Earp family of Melbourne produced WYATT EARP........I believe I lost her friendship when i proved her totally wrong..............
