Reverend Joseph Barker - Prebendary and Vicar of Ballisadare (Achonry) 1872-1879

[bastawolfie]

By maternal bloodlines I am a relative of the Reverend Joseph Barker who was the appointed Prebendary and Vicar of Ballisadare (Achonry) from 1872 to 1879. Prior to that he had arrived in Achill in 1852 and succeeded the Revd Edward Nangle as Rector and Vicar of Achill (1852-1872), and was involved with the Achill Mission Colony. Reverend Joseph Barker died in Nervi, Italy on 21 April, 1879 aged 86 years - I am endeavouring to locate where he may have been buried and would appreciate hearing from anyone who may kindly assist me accordingly.

By maternal bloodlines Charles Joseph Barker and Miriam Lois Barker (nee Vallance) are my Great Grandparents; Charles Joseph was the second born to the Reverend Joseph Barker and Emma Caroline Barker (nee Fetherstonhaugh)...

My understanding is that Charles Joseph had an older sister Emma Emily Barker and younger siblings Lindsey Bucknill Barker, Emma Barker, Cuthbert J Barker, Alexander Barker and Jane Marcia Caroline Barker - Charles Joseph Barker emigrated to New Zealand arriving on 24 August 1875, was married on 18 April 1876, had children James Alexander Barker, Ivy Emmeline Barker, Miriam Lois Barker, Norman Fetherstonhaugh Barker and Leila Barker, and died of cancer on 25 July 1893...

My information in regards the ecclesiastical history of Reverend Joseph Barker is that he served in the various sequential capacities, C Achill (Tuam) 1852; R Achill (Tuam) 1852-71; Preb of Faldown (Tuam) 1852-79; Preb and V Ballisadare (Ach) 1872-79 - Joseph Barker passed away in Nervi, Italy on 21 April 1879 aged 86 years...

At this time I am unaware of where the Reverend Gentleman may have been buried - I would be keen to make contact with others of whom the Reverend Joseph and Emma Caroline Barker (nee Fetherstonhaugh) may likewise be an integral part of their Ancestral Family lineage...

Best Regards

Correction - had children in part should read "...Miriam Vallance Barker..." (she being my Maternal Grandmother)...
