Hi all, hoping someone may be able to find.

above Henry Barker married Isabella Jane Southby 1863 . They had 3 children, the last born in 1875 (George). In 1881, Henry is listed as a widower. I am looking for the registration of death of Isabella. They lived in Willesden, Middx.,

Also in the 1891 census Henry has another wife Mary Ann, from Gloucester/Bristol.
Am also looking for their marriage.

The odd thing is, there is a child (Emily Ann) born in 1878, born Willesden, who does not appear on the 1881 census, but does on the 1891.

Sounds rather complex, but would be grateful if anyone could find the death of Isabella and subsequent 2nd marriage of Henry.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. Sue
:-)

Maddie, thanks v much for that info. re George Smith Barker and the death date of Isabella. It is about the right time,as she is not in the 1881 census.

I think i have got very muddled up as i have two Henry Barkers born similar time, and have wrong parents for the children. But your information, has alterted me to this, so thank you v much. :-D

Sue will mark this as sorted, as i now need to sort it out on the tree.
