Hello
I am helping a friend with his family tree. He is trying to find his gt grandfather William Barrett in the 1861 census.
He has the following information:-
1. Marriage to Emma Elizabeth Warland on 21 July 1861 in Lambeth, London (unfortunately just after the census). William is shown as a widower and a carpenter. William's father is shown as James Barrett, also a carpenter. Emma's father is Henry Warland, undertaker.
2. In 1871 census Emma (now Barrett) is with children William (probably from William senior's first marriage), Mark, James and Frederick. Emma is shown as a widow. I believe William senior died in 1869.
I have very little else to go on, but would be very grateful for any help with this.
Thanks in advance
Ron

Reggie
Agnes St Waterloo for William and Waterloo Road for Emma.
I believe William was born in 1857, James John in 1864, Mark George in 1862 and Frederick in 1867. All in Lambeth
