??????
The Times Feb 24th 1933
A rather long obituary to
Dr. Charles Alfred Barber
Research in Tropical Agriculture
briefly
Dr Barber died yesterday at his home in Cambridge aged 72
Born at Wynberg in South Africa in 1860 son of William Barber a Wesleyan Minister and younger brother of Dr. W T A Barber
He married Edith daughter of Rev G R Osborn he leaves a son and daughter


After retiring from India in 1919 having been made C I E in 1918 Dr.Barber was appointed Lecturer in Tropical Agriculture at Cambridge.

So Elsie and her brother may well have been born in India
if this is him

who are the witnesses on the marriage certificate??
