I am researching Thomas Barnes who was born in Winterborne Clenston, Dorset in 1840. I have looked in the Parish Registers and cannot find him at present. He married Ellen about 1861/2 and they lived in Blandford. They had moved to Moordown, Bournemouth by the time of the 1881 census. Does anyone have any connection with Thomas? Does anyone have any connection with the Rev William Barnes who was born at Bagber, Sturminster Newton in 1801? I am wondering if these two branches of the Barnes family were in fact related in any way. Would love to hear from somone. Liz Pitkin Bournemouth
