My grandmother Esther Harriett Barnett was born in either Wellingborough or Kettering, Northants in 1889 or1890. There is doubt about her parentage in 1901 census she is classed as grandaughter to James Barnett andthey had moved from Hargrave,Northants to Knotting Beds. Can anyone help please. I'm quite new to all this.

Mary, I live very close to both Knotting and Newton Bromswold and although it's probably no help at the moment if you ever need churchyards checked for memorials or photographs etc just let me know. Charles

Charles We're not far away from each other then! I'm about 6 miles away from you, just off the A45, just over a mile away from Raunds. Small world, isn't it? Janet Northamptonshire

Yes Janet, it certainly is. I have friends in Stanwick so I know the village quite well. Hope you are having more success with your searches than I am. Regards, Charles

Thanks a lot - certainly filled a gap between when the family lived at Hargrave and then moved to Knotting. (Think I sent you two messages - bit new to all this!)

Charles - anything you can find out on the Barnett family from the area of Knotting and Newton Bromsweld I'd be grateful for. Living in Lincolnshire now it's not an easy task to check these things out. Thanks
