https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-X966-6V?i=15&cc=1463648
Bpt 1886 dau Charles Edward

Is it possible she named daughter or son after one of her parents?

Edit

Was Godfrey born in UK c1858  Bassaleg the son of Charles Barnes & Mary (mn Edwards)?
siblings Henry, Edward, Ada & Emily
if so the children were probably named after his family.......

Back to drawing board - I can't see any other entries on familysearch for
Elizabeth Ann Barnes nee Hunt

Do you have her 1927 death record?

You may already have looked into the witnesses - I was wondering if there was any clue to helping find Elizabeth Ann Hunt's whereabouts or birth before her marriage to Godfrey

The witnesses to their 1882 marriage were John Daniel ROWE and Elizabeth Ann LEHMAN

Possibly John & Elizabeth married each other

John Daniel Rowe age 24, occ Mason father John Daniel Rowe
Residence Cathcart, South Africa
Marriage    4 Jun 1883 South Africa
Spouse:   Elizabeth Ann Lehman age 19
Collection:   Methodist Marriages, 1840-1949

Elizabeth Ann ROWE born Lehman c1864, European, widow, died 1945 age 81
Intended burial place Kroonstad

Her death notice

Bpt 1884 born 1883 John Daniel ROWE parents John Daniel ROWE & Elizabeth Ann

1935 Probate John Daniel Rowe born Wales wife Elizabeth Ann Rowe nee Lehman
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:7TJL-9XT2

This might be JDR who married in SA on UK 1861 census with parents & siblings

Prendergast, Whitchurch Haverfordwest Pembroke
ROWE
John 43 Paul, Cornwall occ Journeyman stonemason
Sarah 43 Penzance Cornwall
children
Elizabeth 21 “
Sarah 15      “
Thomas Henry 13 Morristown Devon
Alice Emma 11 Penzance
Anne Samson  9   “
JOHN DANIEL  22 months Pembrokeshire Wales
Annie gd/dau 15 months       “

Elizabeth Ann HUNT & Elizabeth Ann LEHMAN were born c1866 & 1864, so close in age
and looks as if both their husbands were born in UK

Yes, though I wonder if she ever knew her parents.

Was Godfrey born in UK c1858  Bassaleg the son of Charles Barnes & Mary (mn Edwards)?
siblings Henry, Edward, Ada & Emily
if so the children were probably named after his family.......

Yes, I have his birth certificate.


Do you have her 1927 death record?

No, I can't find it in the S.A. records (on-line).

You may already have looked into the witnesses - I was wondering if there was any clue to helping find Elizabeth Ann Hunt's whereabouts or birth before her marriage to Godfrey

The witnesses to their 1882 marriage were John Daniel ROWE and Elizabeth Ann LEHMAN

Elizabeth Ann HUNT & Elizabeth Ann LEHMAN were born c1866 & 1864, so close in age

I have checked JDR and Ann Lehman but didn't find anything. I believe Godfrey Charles and JDR probably immigrated at the same time.

I have tried to find Elizabeth's parents for years but no success so far.

Thanks for you help.
