Hello. I’m researching a John Barnes that married Louisa Tucker in 1821. He was from Dorset as well. I ordered his marriage record from the church which told me the witnesses. One of them was a William Barnes. John and Louisa settled in Harbour Grace, but after 3 children I can’t find them. Their sons George and Ebenezer Barnes I was able to follow down the line. I was never able to find William with certainty after the wedding in 1821. I’m just going back to researching them all again, I’m hoping something new has been added online.
I’m a Barnes, John Barnes is my 4th Great Grandfather. At the time of his marriage in Carbonear he lists Wimborne (Minster), Dorset as his home. Louisa was living in Harbour Grace.
If you are interested in comparing notes let me know.
