  • John Barker and Martha Collins marriage

    A little help please if anyone has the time.
    my 3 x g grandparents were John Hartley Barker b 1825 Salford and Martha Collins b 1824 Dunham Massey...they married 26th december 1858 in Manchester cathedral...
    John was b John Barker and his children were babtised HARTLEY.
    I have Martha hartley b 1861
    hannah hartley b 1863
    john hartley b 1866
    Iam trying to establish whether John Barkers Mother married again to a HARTLEY ..hence the middle name,or whether John was babtised John Hartley Barker (hartley being his mothers maiden name)...this proving difficult because its pre 1837...I`m goint to check all the Hartley marriages on lancs bmd...any advice welcome...cheers..allan
    OKAY...can`t find a Hartley-Barker marriage...and I can`t find my 2 x g grandmothers birth either ..she was born Martha Hartley 1861..I have her as born in Dunham Massey (where her mother Mary was from)..this looks a little bit suspect now...can anyone find Martha Hartley b 1861 in Salford or Dunham Massey in the 1871 census with her siblings Hannah b 1863 and John b 1866 and parents John hartley barker and martha hartley barker....or Hartley ...cheers...allan

        good morning fen ..and thankyou very very much for taking the time to confirm that my mums nan WAS born in Dunham Massey..this info is valuable to me..I did know that John had remarried and my mum said he lived to a good age and was living in Runcorn in the late 1800`s because my nan used to visit him from Garston(about 9 miles away)..he would probably be on the 1891 census in runcorn but don`t know whether he would be under Barker or Hartley..I`m going back to my tree now to see if I can find the marriage of Martha Ann to see why its Hartley and not Barker...back soon and thanks again...allan;)

                            This website says St Werburgh is near Dunham Massey
                            St Werburgh, Warburton : Visit Churches : The Churches Conservation Trust

                            and this says there are two separate St Werburghs in the same area
                            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Werb...rch,_Warburton

                            The older church is west of the village; the newer one was built 1883-5 and is southwest of the village.

                              I'm wondering whether John Hartley Barker was baptised as John Hartley Barker or whether he was illegitimate and baptised John Hartley; his mother then married a Barker and he took that name too.

                                you are correct Nell...we went to both St Werburghs churches..the first one we went to was about 100 yrs old and rather large...the second was where my ancestors are buried and was very small and probably 4-5 hundred years old...as for John Hartley Barker, it will probably remain a mystery because his birth was pre 1837...allan;);)

                                  If John married twice, it would be worth getting both marriage certificates, to see whether the father's info is identical on both. If John were illegitimate, the odds are that Hartley was his father's surname. Again, if he were born before 1834, then there may be a bastardy bond floating around for him, probably in the local record office.

                                      I know this has been a while since the last post on this but could someone please see if they can find Martha Collins b 1824 in the 1837 1851 census returns for Dunham Massey and whether it has an address for Martha Collins...her mother was Martha Collins(nee Haslam b abt 1800) if it gives where she was born(the mum)...I have ONE sister named ANN Collins b 1825...if there are any other family it would be a nice surprise...the father was Abraham b 1796(I think Dunham Massey....in the meantime I am going on the Tithe Survey to see if the family owned any land there....thanks a lot....allan;)
                                      ADDED...in the 1835 Tithe Land Survey of Dunham Massey it has Abraham Collins as ...Garden...1 Rood ...6 Perches....I think he only had an allotment ??....lol...allan
