I have a bit of a block on finding names for the grandchildren of John and Eliza Barber from Canterbury.
My starting point was a family photograph taken at their 50th wedding anniversary. We knew the names of one of their children (Reginald) and two grandchildren (Patricia and Michael) but the rest were unknown. I have been working away at the puzzle for a couple of months and have now got lots of names, mostly matched to the people in the photograph, but I now have exhausted all the possibilities to fit names to all the grandchildren and I have an extra child in the photo that I haven't found a name for.
This is the photograph taken in 1935. I believe that the children of John and Eliza are seated each side of them with their respective spouses standing behind them and their children seated on the ground.
And this should be a link to the tree on Ancestry
You can see in the tree that there are 4 boys and 6 girls in the grandchildren row. The oldest boy, Peter, I believe is standing behind the central couple. The youngest boy, baby Michael, is sitting on his father's lap. So this leaves an extra boy seated on the ground with the girls.
I have searched FreeBMD and followed all the lines in Ancestry so I am at loss for how to solve the mystery. Am I missing something really obvious?
