Can someone look for children born to Samuel Barker and Elizabeth nee Good harwich essex area. 1880 - 1900 area. Also census same info as above Thanks to all

well there first known child was born 1881 heckford (<- thats the name of child) so presuming 20 yrs before that havent found there marriage or births so not 100%

was hoping the 1881 might show them and app dates of birth

1881 census is free to search on the LDS site. Helen

no Heckford on 1891 that fits the bill

where did you get 1881 from?? Name: Heckford Charles Barker Year of Registration: 1896 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Tendring County: Essex Volume: 4a Page: 627 was he know as Hector?

Name: Samuel Barker Year of Registration: 1873 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Tendring County: Essex Volume: 4a Page: 293 Elizabeth Ann Good You are way off the mark Alexandra. hunt them out on the 1881 , and we'll take it from there

This looks like them on the 1901 census. Many children ! 1901 England Census Record about Samuel Barker Name: Samuel Barker Age: 50 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1851 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Great Oakley, Essex, England Civil parish: Dovercourt Ecclesiastical parish: Dovercourt All Saints County/Island: Essex Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Tendring Sub-registration district: Harwick ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 89 Household Members: Name Age Edgar Barker 22 Elizabeth Barker 47 Elizabeth Barker 2 Emily Barker 9 Ernest Barker 10 Ethel Barker 14 Hector Barker 4 Laura Barker 18 Samuel Barker 50 Sarah Barker 6 Hector must be Heckford...

If Alexandra KNOWS that HECKFORD was born in 1881 , we are NOT in the right place. dont thick it is wise to asume HECTOR and Heckford are one and the same when the birth date is so far out 1891 if they are the right lot Barker Sam L Elizabeth abt 1847 Great Oakley, Essex, England Head Dovercourt Essex Edgar Sam L Barker, Elizabeth abt 1879 Great Oakley, Essex, England Son Dovercourt Essex Elizabeth Sam L Barker abt 1853 Great Oakley, Essex, England Wife Dovercourt Essex Laura Sam L Barker, Elizabeth abt 1883 Great Oakley, Essex, England Daughter Dovercourt Essex William Sam L Barker, Elizabeth abt 1881 Great Oakley, Essex, England Son for some reason, father has been listed as Barker Samuel, so all the children appear to have a father called Barker

Same family on 1881 census, Great Oakley, Essex. 1881 England Census Record about Samuel Barker Name: Samuel Barker Age: 33 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1848 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where Born: Gt Oakley, Essex, England Civil parish: Great Oakley County/Island: Essex Country: England Street address: Village Condition as to marriage: Married Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Ag Lab Registration district: Tendring Sub registration district: Manningtree ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Edgar Barker 2 Elizabeth Barker 27 Ellen Barker 9 Samuel Barker 33 William Barker

Hi all right im sorry i am getting confussed dont know why i put heckford was born 1881 he was born 1896 i have his birth certificate here. 1st Nov 1896 at the Green Dovercourt, Harwich Heckford Charles Barker father Samuel Barker Mother Elizabeth Formally Good. Which census entry is them im so sorry for this hassel.

I have just relised where the 1881 came from Heckford had an older brother registered in name Willie But we thought william as some other things say william same parents he was born in Great Oakley. Tendring. NOt sure which census is right ahhhh help i ahve all these really old certificates including one from 1840 which is almost in bits. Getting mixed up

What do you mean ''which census is right?'' we have posted , between us, 1901 , 1891 1881 and the marriage in 1873

oh sorry so its all correct its me im surrounded by old paper work and in a right muddle thanks for all your help on this one

so , was elizabeth born a Good, or had she been married and widowed?

i believe she was born a Good on the births certs of 2 children it just says elizabeth formally good so not sure

I posted that earlier Val- thought it would be a useful one to have, fathers names and etc's

Hi Alexandra. If you have an idea that the older brother was Willie / William...That ties in with the census information we have been sending you. Send for the marriage certificate of Samuel and Elizabeth, then it will give her status, when she married Samuel and you can be clear about if it was their first marriage etc. Than you have some clear facts to go on with. Don't forget that the certificate should also give you Samuel's and Elizabeth's, father's names ( if known ) and their occupations. This may help you on your search, as you can check the households in 1841 and if you're lucky, Samuel might just have been born and be on that census as he is aged 50 on the 1901. Good Luck, Debbie O' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
