Hello everyone I am a new subscriber to your list and desperately seeking information on my BARNES family.If anyone is researching this name I would love to hear from you. My interest in Devon begins with my GG Grandparents Thomas BARNES and his wife Ann Rebecca (formerly ELLIOTT). Thomas was born in 1846 (bapt. 1 March 1846 Dartington).His parents were Samuel & Eleanor.Ann Rebecca is shown as born in Newton Ferras aged 35 (on the 1881C). I have Thomas on the 1851 Census at Newhouse Cot, Dartington Totnes, but wonder if there is any possibility of finding him on the 1861C ?There are two mentions of a Thomas on the 1871C, both with Naval connections so I am very keen to pinpoint which one might be him, I am hoping the 1861C might help to clarify this.I have been given an entry from the 1861C showing a Samuel and Mary Ann but feel this is not my line at this stage unless Eleanor had died and Samuel remarried and raised more children and duplicated names??? If anyone has access to Parish Records for the area, I would be so very grateful for any input. I am trying to get this line in some order before a planned visit to UK in June this year, so that I may more easily visit places of importance to my ancestors, without wasting too much time "dithering".And of course if anyone is researching these lines, I would be very glad of your knowledge. Thank you. Regards Marilyn in Orbost , Oz.
