The extensive BARFOOT family

[KEVKEV]

Thank you so much for providing the details of the terrible accident which of course crushed him on the spot. Unfortunately it's such stories that create the person from just a name on paper- very unfortunate though. Thank you Maddy.

I don't have a death certificate for Ellen Barfoot but this is what I wrote down from the cemetery register about her burial:

'Ellen Barfoot 13 years 10 months buried July 17th 1898. Daughter of late F.G. Barfoot of contractors huts. Received from Anna Lomas'.
         I wonder who Anna Lomas was- may check into that...and why Fanny wasn't mentioned.

Fanny surely would have attended her son Frederick Georges wedding ceremony to Elizabeth Langley (great grandfather Williams sister) at the Ardsley church on May 29th 1898, not even two months before Ellen died.
         By 1901 Fred and Lizzie as she was know were living in Hunslet- he an engine driver.
Lizzies mother Annis was at Industry road in Stairfoot but no sign of Fanny her daughter-in-law.

Thank you for your help and assistance.
Fanny's son Edward is possibly the one buried in the Hunslet cemetery, died 28 January 1942.
  It may be him on the 1939 register in Leeds... birth 20th September 1888. Although this keeps part of the family in the Leeds / Hunslet area it doesn't point to Fanny whom I'd have thought would have lodged with either son, especially after such tragedies.

Just found this in 1891:

80 Wilberforce St, Pudsey, Yorkshire
Frederick Smith   aged 41 General labourer  Born Poole
Fanny Smith aged 33  born Bottesford
children Frederick (aged 11, Battersea), Louisa (aged 10, Hull), Walter (aged 8, Hull), Ellen (aged 7, Hull), William (aged 5, Skipton), Edward (aged 3, Frodsham)

District 23, Piece 3658, Folio 72

Why they would be named "Smith", I don't know, unless they were trying to disappear.

Well found prawncocktail

Great find PrawnCocktail!

I posted the baptism of Edward in reply #9. So are George and Emma the same couple Frederick and Fanny? Curiouser and curiouser.

[KEVKEV]

Yes amazing find prawncocktail!!
I have to take my car in for a fix, will check things out a little later.
It looks like we / you may have found Fanny!!
 Well done- what a strange find.
Thank you.

Following on from the Smith find, there is no marriage of Fanny Barfoot and Frederick Smith to be found. Too bad.
As located by prawncocktail he was born 1850 in Poole Dorset where so many Barfoots originate and live(D).

A Frederick William Smith married a Rose A. SHORT in 1916 in Poole, and originally I had thought our Frederick George Barfoot married a Fanny SHORT from Poole, but it is not correct.

 There is a burial of a Fanny Smith in Hunslet who died (or was buried) 17 October 1938 'age 76-77'...which is close and because it's Hunslet it makes it interesting. A widow, she was buried in an unconsecrated grave, and her abode was 21 Whitfield street, Hunslet.

This Fanny's husband if it was a Frederick Smith died before her and the only death suitable may be a Frederick Smith who died 4th qtr 1917 aged 67 (born 1850-which fits) and buried not in Hunslet though but at Lawnwood cemetery, Leeds.

All the above added information may only complicate.
