Ia mtrying to locate the parents of Charles Barnes who was born c. 1813 and who married Harriet Duck on 24 February 1839. The only thing I know about Charles' parents is that they were called Thomas Barnes and Susannah. She died c. December 1825 and was buried on 1 January 1826. David Blackmore

Bristol and Avon FHS marriages CD has Hariet's surname as DARK. If Susannah died in 1825 then it's possible that Thomas married again. There's a marriage on CD index of a Thomas BARNES in Kingswood to Mary GOVER on 5 Apr 1833, (both of this parish) but doesn't say whether he was bachelor or widower. May be you can get further clues from 1841/1851 census etc. If you look at that Thomas's age you can work out whether he was old enough to be Charles's father. Caroline
