Would anybody be able to look up William Joseph Barnes born 1889 willesden on 1911 census. He was a widower in 1916 so may or may not be married in 1911. He moved around the Willesden and St Pancras areas it seems.
I would be very grateful , thank you

would anyone also be able to look up Rose Sophia Clifford on 1911 census......she was born c1890 Swansea, glamorgan area

Any idea who, when and where he married?

Stephen

Stephen Report 11 Jun 2010 21:14

really sorry but that cannot be him. his mother died in childbirth. He is not with his father in 1911. ........He may be a baker in 1911

He married Rose Sophia Clifford in 1916,in St Pancras, he was a baker and a widower. I do not know when he had his first marriage - hence why I am trying to find him in 1911 to see if he was already married in 1911

any luck with William Joseph in 1911...........this is my direct line

There are no William Barnes that I can see that list Willesden as their birthplace

William Joseph Barnes
Year of Registration: 1889
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Hendon (1837-1947)
County: Middlesex
Volume: 3a

He was born 1st May 1889 willesden


He committed suicide in kilburn in 1928. So 1911 is important in tracing his life.Could he have stayed in wales, after all his second wife was welsh...........just a thought

There are about 6 pages of them and if his birth place is not correct and we are not sure of his occupation it is rather guesswork. I will keep looking so don't give up. There is this one but his birthplace doesn't fit

Sorry Stephen, not having much luck yet???

but................if he was born reg.dist. Hendon, then the marriage I found earlier, could very well be his first marriage!

Stephen

Stephen Report 11 Jun 2010 21:56

thanks everyone for your time and for trying.........William has caused me nothing but problems in tracing him........as he was never with his father.....and then the suicide.........so "going missing" in 1911 doesnt surprise me!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Stephen

Stephen Report 11 Jun 2010 22:01

sorry to disappoint but the 1908 marriage is not correct. That William Joseph was born in 1850...........I have been through and ruled out most marriages...........its so frustrating!!

I'"m just wondering if he left the country and came back after the 1911 census?
There are a couple that came back from Australia in time to marry in 1916:-
Name: William Barnes
Birth: abt 1890
Departure: Brisbane, Australia
Arrival: 28 Feb 1914 - London, England
Other: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle, Colombo, Port Said, Naples, Toulon, Gibraltar, Plymouth
Occupation: Labourer


Name: William Barnes
Birth: abt 1887
Departure: Brisbane, Australia
Arrival: 9 Nov 1912 - London, England
Other: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle, Colombo, Port Said, Naples, Toulon, Gibraltar, Plymouth
Occupation: Groom (so maybe not this one?)
