I don't have access to the 1911 census. Just looking on the index brings up this...

HOUSEHOLD BARRY ADELAIDE MARY BARBARA F 1866 45 Eastbourne Sussex
HOUSEHOLD BARRY JOHN SHAFTO M 1862 49 Eastbourne Sussex

No other BARRY in the same household.

Perhaps someone with a subscription could give you the full details.

Hi Christina

I think this must be the one. Have you access to the 1911 to see if any children?

Thanks

Hi

Ooh! I don't know which marriage now. Christina's one with the father as Henry Luke Holmes which is prob. Tuke not Luke sounds perhaps more likely. Adelaide though, first time thats come up perhaps she had it changed from Ada or that's the short version. She has had a different name for every census and cert.

Hi

Just looked up a marriage for them found in Kendal 1899 added it to my tree, up popped another persons tree with them on but totally different family. of course the marriage reg. has her as Holme not Holmes. Perhaps the other tree is wrong but there are loads of family going back generations.
