I am searching the Barker family Woodbridge Suffolk. I have traced William Barker (a butcher) married to Susan they lived for sometime in Angel Lane Woodbridge.
They had 10 children the youngest was my Great Gfather Charles Barker who was a sailor. Sadly Charles died at at sea, his wife was pregnant at the time. My great gran knew very little of the Barker family as they had been married less than a year. They both lived in London at the time.
Is there anyone who has any photos or information? I would be very grateful.
Angela Russell (Barker)

Welcome to the board Angela. Have you searched trees to see if anyone has William or his children in their tree?

You don't give any date so would you like to add that and also whether you have found them on census?
