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 Christina

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

Thanks

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.

This may be when Ada met her husband....

ECCLESIASTICAL NEWS .
The Yorkshire Herald, and The York Herald (York, England), Thursday, April 05, 1894 .........

Rev. John Shafto Barry to the curacy of Ecclesfield.

Could also explain their varying addresses.

Found this on the Lancashire Libraries site, Online Reference Libraries, 19th Century British Library Newspapers.

There are also several articles on Henry Tuke Holmes.

Hi Christina

Well Ecclesfield is where her Mother came from and where she was staying with her Aunt in a census.

How do you find the newspaper article? Do you have to belong to something?

Could this be her birth registration??

In all the above records her name is shown as Mary, not Margaret.

Jonesey has a thread on how to access those records and he explains it far better than I could possible do.

Hi Christine.

Yes v strange as I have found her probate and her name is now Ada Barbara MARY Barry and probate is to her husband John Shafto Barry. Every piece of info is a different name. Mary was her mother's name.
