Benjamin BARNES
« on: Sunday 02 January 22 00:39 GMT (UK) »
Looking for the death details of Benjamin Barnes, son of James Barnes & Prudence Matthews, who was born in April Qtr. 1849 in Penzance, and married Nanny James Trathan in 8 June 1867 in Madron, Cornwall.
Nanny died in March Qtr. 1910 in Penzance. Tried the Census Rolls but he only seems to appear in them up until 1861, everywhere else just indicates he was deceased.
Hope you can help.
Peter

I have tried later census dates in 1881 & 1891 without success for both Benjamin and Nanny. Even tried son John James with same result. I accept I had the wrong death for Nanny Barnes. Will keep searching. Thanks for your help.
