Thanks for that Lynda, Bell Cayley Barker was the mother of Joseph Huggins Barker. Bell married her first cousin once removed - Barker William Barker (strange name don't you think). It's quite a tangled web of inter-marriages - with that one being only one of many. Thankfully I have a third couisn once removed who has done a lot of the research already. Could you find the son Joseph any where? Paul

Paul, Just noticed Bell ws born in Whitby,Yorks, same as Rebecca, so she may have been Rebeccas mother, just a thought. Lynda

Paul Your family were living at 18, Cavendish Grove Millbrook Shirley. Joseph was now a retired solicitor, but the younger Joseph was not there, but the other children were. There is also listed Bell C Barker mother (widow) age 80, living on own means. Hopefully another generation found for you. By the way there were 2 servants, let me know if you want there names. lynda
