Noob question

Postby simonali » Mon Aug 24, 2020 7:56 am

Hopefully you can see this?

https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record? ... 0045%2F138

The John Barnes who died aged 75 in Poplar is in my family tree but I couldn't help noticing the Gwendoline Barnes who died aged just 1 on the same page. Given the Poplar entry it could be that she may be a relative, too, but there is only this death notice and no birth record to cross reference. Given this with the mother's maiden name I could see if she belongs in my tree or not, yes?

As no one has posted here for 5 years I take it this was the wrong section for my question?

what year are you looking at, you could get a list of who buried in John Barnes grave if you know where it at ? you could search GRO to see if mother maiden name is registered

Could just be a coincidence...

My head is spinning with how many people called Barnes there are in my tree. There is a Walter Barnes who had 16 children and he was one of about 8 or 9! I do have a Henry Barnes but the middle intial doesn't match and he was only born in 1915, so a 1930 marriage would be unlikely methinks. Doesn't mean one of his uncles didn't have a son with the same name, though. They liked to recycle names back then.

until you trace them back you won't know

How weird is this? My grandfather was living at 126 Garvary Road, Canning Town,Newham at the time of the 1939 register and had a sister called Winifred Barnes. There was another Winifred Barnes at number 146 and as far as I can tell they weren't related.
