Hello List,
I haven't been here since 2001 and many changes to data have been made since
my last entries, as well as a few computer crashes etc.
I am looking for some help please in Llandudno, particularly for the surname
BARNES around the 18th-19th century.
My HENRY JOSEPH BARNES born abt. 1766 is found in Accrington Lancashire
where he marries Ellen Birtwistle in 1788.
Their children carry the christian names ROBERT, JOSEPH, JACOB, HENRY,
JAMES, THOMAS, JOHN and are all born in the Accrington area. He was a
Blacksmith.
I have researched the family in Lancashire, but only back to their marriage
in 1788 in which their Witness is a GEORGE BARNES.
Family lore still states his Father was called GEORGE BARNES. I am leaning
towards MARY for his Mother, but if anyone has any records please relating
to the BARNES of Llandudno I would dearly love to know.
I have seen an old entry of 2001-2 in which a Mark Hughes (?) mentions some
MIs in a local Llandudno Church in which the surname BARNES is included.
Any help very much appreciated.
