Three cheers for Ruth. Thanks to her help with the 1891 Census, I was able to a link a name given to me in a letter from my Great Great Aunt to my tree. As a result, I have traced a 3rd cousin once removed & spoke to him on the phone last night. It turns out his younger brother has been tracing their family tree too. Looking forward to meeting up soon. thnx Ruth Paul

Can someone help me a side branch of my family tree please? I need an 1891 Census lookup of the Barker family of Whitby - Christopher Barker (bn 1842 Whitby) Head - Mariner; Maria Dixon Barker (bn 1845 Whitby) Wife; Florence Barker (bn 1875 Whitby) Daur; Edith Barker (bn 1877 Whitby) Daur; Thomas C Barker (bn 1880 whitby) Son. On the 1881 Census they were recorded at 21 Well Close, Ruswarp, Whitby. Living next door was Christopher's parents - Joseph Barker (bn 1815 Whitby) Retired Mariner; Margaret Barker (bn 1816 Whitby); Thomas Barker (brother of Joseph) (bn 1817) Retired Farmer. I would really appreciate a lookup of the parents too. Thank you. Paul
