Thread: James William Barnett

OK i am new to family research so need all the help i can get. Thanks to mike for the help he has given me so far with locating my great grandfathers grave in Manchester.



I'd like to know and find out as much as i can about James William Barnett and Emily Keeling. Emily's father Hiram (I think judging by the entry on the marriage certificate).



I also know that James William Barnett's father was called James again but i know nothing else about him.



Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.



I will try and attach the scans of the various documents that i have relating to James William and Emily.

So what i know so far



James William Barnett and Emily keeling were both born around 1886 judging by them both being 21 when they got married in 1907. I found a James William in the birth index for April, May & June 1888 (not sure about the difference in year and therefore not sure it is the right James William) but could not find anything at all on Emily Keeling.



I have investigated the millitary side of James William and found out some useful info with help from others on the Manchester Regiment Group Forum.



I am waiting for a death certificate for James William that i have ordered but i would like to try and find out more info that would allow me to order a birth certificate for him and more info about Emily Keeling and her father Hiram?

This would appear to be Hiram Keeling (unusual name) in 1881 census, before Emily's birth:

1901

Hiram and Adelaide are at 19 Russell Street, Loughborough

Hiram is a mechanic in a hosiery factory and they have daughters Ada 19, German seamer (hosiery) born Loughborough and Emily 17 , elastic weaver born Nottingham as well as son Albert 11 born Loughborough.

This would seem to be Emily's birth index ref:
