Default Rev George Thomas BARKER

Can any one find who this chap married and where his son was born please??

George Thomas BARKER was born 17 March 1893 Bedale, and in 1939 he is married to Margaret born 27 June 1892, and they have a son Harold S born 1 October 1916.

The son at various times has the name Harold Sidney Barker, or Harold Sidney Michael Barker. His death in 1992 confirms that date of birth. However his birth does not appear to be registered that quarter, not that I can see anyway!

I was hoping his birth would give me his mothers maiden name, but I have gone around in circles for hours getting nowhere!

The only Harold S born 2 years either side of 1916 is :

Births Jun 1916
Barker Harold S Stride Sculcoates 9d 255

but that is a quarter too early, which doesn't help.

I looked at that birth, and there is a marriage Sept q 1915 Sculcoates Harold Barker and Mary C Stride.

Yes, I have the marriage for Harold Sidney Michael. Thanks

Do you know from other sources that Harold is the son of George and not some other relation?

Or perhaps he was adopted.

Not many marriages for George and Margaret in any case!

Maybe they got married in a different country? And maybe Harold was born in a different country?

You probably have this already:

Lincolnshire Echo 23 September 1926

states that the Rev. George Thomas Barker B.A. was a graduate of Selwyn College Cambridge and was trained at Ely Theological College. Ordained 1916 at Lichfield (Staffs) and has since been assistant curate at St Andrew's Walsall (Staffs). He has now been appointed assistant curate at St Nicholas and St John, Newport and the chapel of St Mathias, Lincoln.

His ordination was reported in the Derbyshire Advertiser and Journal 01 April 1916, so, six months before Harold's birth and he was appointed to work at Walsall:

George Thomas Barker. B.A., Selwyn College and Cambridge and Ely Theological College, to St. Andrew’s, Walsall
