Note on Husband: William George BARKER - shared note

1. At the time of his marriage to Adelaide his profession is General Dealer. Residence is simply Limehouse. A transcription of the marriage certificate can be seen at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/MarBR_01.htm

 

2. At the time of the birth of his son William (1837) he lived at 12 William Street, Newington. His occupation is 'A general dealer and ???'.

 

3. At the time of the birth of his son Charles (1842) he lived at 2 Harriet Street, Lambeth and his profession is Labourer.

 

4. There is a plausible entry for the family in the 1841 census living in Harriot Street, Lambeth :

William Barker M age 24, General dealer, born Surrey with his wife Adelaide age 24. See census transcript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen41_007.htm

 

5. In the 1851 census he is living at 10 James Street, All Saints, Lambeth with his wife and 3 children. See the census transcript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen51_007.htm

 

6. In the 1861 census William and Adelaide are living in Newington with 4 children. See the census transcript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen61_008.htm

 

7. At the time of the marriage of his son Charles [1864] his profession is Wheelwright.

 

8. In the 1871 census his wife Adelaide is living with his son Charles, so presumably she is a widow.

Note on Wife: Adelaide REYNOLDS - shared note

1. At the time of her marriage to William her occupation was given as 'Shoe Binder'. Her residence was given simply as Limehouse.

 

2. See the notes for her husband William George Barker for her entries in the 1841, 1851 and 1861 censuses.

 

3. At the time of the 1871 census she is living with her son Charles Barker. See census transcript at www.familychest.co.uk/History/Data/Cen71_004.htm

 

4. She appears to be alive and well in the 1881 census, living with her son William G Barker, age 42, and his wife Fleurella Barker. She is a widow, age 64, by this time and her occupation is 'washing'. They are living at 3 Savile Place, Lambeth. Her approximate age and place of birth are taken from this entry. Note that Adelaide, her husband and both her children were born south of the Thames, whereas she was married in Limehouse. I thought that was North of the river?

 

5. In the 1891 census she is living alone at 26 John Street, Lambeth. She is aged 74 and described as a charwoman.
