Are you 100% sure of the relationships you have quoted?

Factual evidence suggests that you've attached the children to the wrong parents.............in which case, they may not be related to you in the way you think

Ancestry records one possible child for Coletta/Barley

And one (possibly two) for Beech/Barley

Ray and parents still at the Tottenham address on 1960 ER

He appears to have married in that year - but the GRO index records his spouse's first name as JOHN.........!!!!!

Wow, thanks for all that! Taking your posts in order,.....I have done an all trees search and looked on 192.com but had missed the ER for 1958, so that's interesting.
Re the marriage of Robert A Barley to Doris Young in 1927, Frdk Barley only married Elsie Young in 1928 and then had their Doris the same year, followed by Jean in 1932 and Ray in 1934.
Yes, I'd also found that Ray seems to marry John! I sent for the marriage certificate using 5d 56 but have had a very unhelpful reply saying that it cannot be provided because "The information stated on the application does not match the entry identified."!
I had found the Doris Barley death in 1984 but the birth in 1905 is wrong. Frdk and Elsie's Doris was born 1928.
The census info on Robert A Barley is interesting and I'm sure he fits in somewhere, but not as a brother to Frederick (born 1901) as his father was Percy, a certainty.
Thank you SO much for your time and trouble. Will keep mulling over all of this!

Could I ask you a little more about the Ancestry records for births from Coletta/Barley and Beech/Barley? How can I access these, is it Ancestry.com.
Thank you.

The births are on Ancestry.co.uk......

I'm sorry, but ALL the facts show that the children belong to ROBERT and DORIS.......I don't think you have purchased birth certs - or have you?

Why would the children be living with people other than their parents?

The 1984 death is for the MOTHER of these 'children'

The person born in 1928 was NOT named BARLEY when/if she died

When you re-apply for the marriage cert.........use only ONE person's name....

Poss that Robert Alfred Barley senior (30 in 1911, therefore born 1881) could be brother of Percy Barley born 1877, so will check out census. However, beginning to doubt Genes Reunited census records as they have no trace of the Robert Alfred Barley household in the 1911 census that you just sent me!?! in your experience, are some family history search sites more comprehensive in their coverage of searchable data than others?
ThNk you for your time.

Sent above before reading your last post, sorry!

So, it would seem that two Barleys married two Young's within a year of each other, both registered in Edmonton! The Barleys weren't brothers, maybe the Youngs were sisters, but all enough of a coincidence to confuse me. What search did you carry out to find the Richard and Doris marriage and what made you look at those names, can I ask? And I don't quote understand the part about 'the person who died in 1928 was not named Barley when/if she died'. Could you perhaps expand there please?
Thank you v much.

NO......you're wrong

The 1928 marriage was NOT in Edmonton..........it's posted above, and I would have thought you would have researched it anyway

Doris married BEECH......you said so yourself!

And you mis-read what I wrote! Which was.............

'The person born in 1928 was NOT named BARLEY when/if she died'

To locate the Edmonton marriage, I merely used a bit of logic ...........researched the names on the ER

I never use GR for research, so am unable to comment on the usefulness of what they offer.

Everything they have is taken from other sources, anyway...........

Oh yes, of course, I see I have been confused in this exchange. I do have the 1928 marriage as taking place in Guildford. And sorry meant to type born in 1928' not died in 1928' I knew she was Beech, so shouldn't have referred to her as Barley. Please forgive my amateurisms!
Would you possibly share the search sites that you use and for what? Form start there is no electoral roll on GR, so I should perhaps be using something else.

Ancestry is the source of all the info I posted which wasn't on freebmd

If Frederick was your relative.............he doesn't appear to have produced any legitimate children

Is THIS him?
