Could this be Fred travelling with his family in 1887?

[Elaine]

I keep going back to that one but just don't know

[NicWhiteley]

The dates tie in, but it doesn't give us any connection with the North East.....mmmmmm!!!!

[Elaine]

Sorry computer crashed but getting everything slowly back, I did have a look and if I remember right, I think he may be the guy with the Illinois records but as we don't know him yet, it's hard to discount. My feeling at the time was it wasn't him but if you have a look at the family, let me know what you think.

[NicWhiteley]

Will do Elaine, thanks

Hi Elaine, i saved a load of details cencus etc about the Barkers the other day, just trawling through it all now. That one was amongst it, although we haven't got a definitive answer i'm def favouring this family, everything just seems to fit doesn't it? Just need to find the elusive Frederick & tie him in ;)

[Elaine]

How old was Frederick's son Frank when he died?
I keep going at the passenger lists:p

[NicWhiteley]

Hi Elaine, sorry for the delay, been working....really busy!!
Frank died in 1901 & he was 9 yrs old

[Elaine]

Thie is why I don't think it is the passenger list with William and family 1887

My feeling is it isn't them either.....but if this is our Frederick, Miriam must have lied about his death when she remarried Ooooo now then, this could get scandalous!!!! Ha ha ha

[NicWhiteley]

Oooooo exciting, just ordered a DNA testing kit from Family Tree DNA

[Elaine]

have you seen the tree on A******* with the families certificates for England?

[NicWhiteley]

Whose tree is it?

[Elaine]

If you search for Florence Emily Barker, a whole tree comes up, username begins with dorothy...if I am allowed to write that, it is a public tree. You should find it OK

[NicWhiteley]
