Find Ancestors

Thanks everybody, you have all helped me a lot. Some of the details I knew, but you have now confirmed them. I now have enough to complete my research into Emily Barnard as far as I want to go.

Bert

Mel, No, according to the details I have, Matilda stayed single, Clara married Joseph Halstead, Georgina married John Sharpe, and Emily married Herbert William Sharpe (my grandfather).

Bert

I dont suppose getting married was the big thing back then as it is now.

They married because it was frowned upon to live together I doubt whether they had huge expensive parties or gifts bought for them, but a decent meal after the service as it was christmas.

Most of mine married at christmas unless they were expecting...then it was as quick as possable :-D

MarieCelete, What I thought odd was that siblings born in 1865,1868, and 1869 (then a widow), should all get married on the same day. That's why I had my doubts. The date for Samuel Barnard's death is about right.

Londobelle, Could well be, but as I am not a direct descendant of Emily, I don't think I will take my investigations that far. At least I am happy to know why she was called Barnard when she married my grandfather. That has stopped me going crazy over it.

I know LB - I was starting to wonder if Samuel's first wife was called "Ball" - then I twigged! Doh!

Bert, joint wedding weren't uncommon - saved money that way.

Christmas and Boxing Day were two very popular days of the year for marriages then - it was a day when people would already be off work.

The marriages you refer to on the LDS site are not user-submitted so there is no reason to question their validity.

I don't understand your doubts.

MarieCeleste, I got a lot of information from the Family Research website. The marriage records for Clara, Georgina and Emily Popple show the date 26 December 1895. It is possible, but I have my doubts.
Bert

Based on the 1891 that Margee posted above, this is possibly the Barnard family in 1871:

BARNARD, William Head M 39 1832 Essex
BARNARD, Mary Wife F 39 1832 Middlesex
BARNARD, John Son M 18 1853 Middlesex
BARNARD, Louisa Daughter F 12 1859 Middlesex
BARNARD, William Son M 10 1861 Middlesex
BARNARD, Jane Daughter F 7 1864 Middlesex
BARNARD, Edward Son M 5 1866 Middlesex
BARNARD, Samuel Son M 4 1867 Middlesex <<
BARNARD, George Son M 2 1869 Middlesex

To all respondents, thanks a lot. I already have got some of the details, but I did not know of Samuel Barnard. It seems as if she was widowed before she met my Grandfather, which solves most of the confusion. I'll have to research that side a bit more.
