David, Thank you SO much! I didn't think I had a hope of anyone being able to give me the information. The spelling does waver between the two on other documentation (- that's 'cause he was Irish and couldn't speak proper!!!!) but that's definitely him. I am very grateful for you going to the trouble of looking it up for me and so quickly!!!! It is MUCH appreciated. Kind regards, Kerri -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of D.

Barnard HUGHES, died 6th July 1840 aged 68 years. I checked the spelling at it was Barnard, not Bernard. I hope this helps.
