*Arc tbc* ---Barnsley / Attwood

[cenara]

Hi,

I am looking to find information beyond my Gr. Grandparents. The story so far....
Robert BARNSLEY b.1875 m. May 2 1897in Old Hill to Eliza Jane ATTWOOD b. abt 1876. (i have this registry extract)
Children:
William Frederick BARNSLEY b. 30 Jan 1898 Old Hill Rowley Regis (my Grandfather) (i have this registry extract)
Percy BARNSLEY b. abt 1900
Sarah BARNSLEY b. 26 Aug 1902 Glasgow
Harold BARNSLEY b. 12 Sep 1904 Glasgow
Robert BARNSLEY b. 13 dec 1908 Glasgow

Robert and Eliza moved to Glasgow sometime after the birth of Percy and prior to the 1901 census.

I have the extract of Robert's death in Glasgow on 13 Dec 1949. This shows his parents to be William BARNSLEY an Iron Factory Labourer and Sarah WIGGINS both deceased.

The marriage extract shows Robert to be 23 and Eliza 20; their fathers as William BARNSLEY a Chain Maker and Gilbert ATTWOOD no profession noted. It lists their residence at the time of marriage as New Town. It lists their witnesses as William and Elizabeth FARERELL.

William Frederick BARNSLEY m. 4 Jan 1921 in Glasgow to Martha Johnston b. 22 Aug 1898
Children:
Jeanie Johnston BARNSLEY
Jane Ellen BARNSLEY? Twin of Jeanie?
Gilbert BARNSLEY
John BARNSLEY

Any help move forward ( or should I say backward) would be greatly appreciated.

Just seen you have posted

So this is Eliza but the other Robert has father Robert not William
so we can't connect up that Robert

need a Robert with father William

[Northern Lass]

I think William is this William G here

and them on 1881

Ok. I have removed all living names.

The Eliza link sure looks like it could be mine, has a link to the Robert she married with a father William married to an unknown Sarah.

My Robert's parents, according to his death certificate, were William BARNSLEY and Sarah WIGGINS. So its very possible.

[cenara]

wow Northern Lass, you don't muck about.

This certainly looks like it could be my William.

I will get a chance to look at it all more closely tomorrow, as it is almost 11pm here so must call it quits for tonight.

I will also try to get a chance to speak to some cousins to see if they can help verify any of this info.

Thanks for the input thus far.

[Northern Lass]

Ok do you have this marriage
if not I can look it up

1871 BARNSLEY William WIGGINS Sarah Dudley, St Thomas Dudley Register Office 204/029/12

Can anyone find this lot on the 1881 pls

Richard Barnsley son 10 scholar b Rowley Regis
John Barnsley son 8 scholar b Worcs Dudley
Kate Barnsley dau 3 b Rowley Regis
Ethel M Barnsley dau 10 mths Rowley Regis

[Northern Lass]

I think this is William in 1871

but I cannot find the married couple in 1881 and I have looked
but goodness knows where they are

1871 Reddall Hill, Rowley Regis
Robert Barnsley 34 Head Gun Barrel Maker
Sarah Barnsley 36 Wife
William Barnsley 17 Son Gun Barrel Maker
Elizabeth Barnsley 10 Dau
Ann Barnsley 4 Dau
Sarah I Barnsley 2 Dau
Selina Barnsley 1 Dau
Elizabeth Bagley 23 Lodger U Chainmaker
Maria Bagley Lodger U (looks like 19 ) Chainmaker

when is that 1871 marriage ?

WILLIAM BARNSLEY
SARAH WIGGINS
Marriage: 08 OCT 1871 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester

[Northern Lass]

extracted

WILLIAM BARNSLEY
SARAH WIGGINS
Marriage: 08 OCT 1871 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester

So it could be the one on the 1871 with father Robert
in april or whenever it was

and then married later in the year
I have stuck it for a look up
unless Ruth has the info on that marriage

I think that is his father

10p on it

Hi All,

No, I don't have anything on William and Sarah. So unfortunately I cant verify anything.
