Looking for Mrs Barley
A recent newspaper find, by a friend, of a report on my gg uncle Robert Barley during the first world war has led me to looking at his family (one of my favourites) even further. I managed to find his wife, who was mentioned in the article and also a son, who sadly died shortly after birth and have been tracing his siblings.
His brother Fred (c1875) was in Great Yarmouth in 1911, aboard the SS Salvor. making use of Ancestry's free weekend, I have seen that it clearly says he was married 9 years with 2 surviving children. I found a marriage in Sculcoates in 1906 to either Mary Ellen Haworth or Ellen Bullock but can find no trace of the wife and children in 1911. I know this marriage is a few years short of the 9 years he claims but his father claimed to have been married 48 years in 1911, when he had actually only been married for 3! Can anyone trace Mrs Barley and their children please?

Yorkshire BMD shows that the 1906 marriage was to Mary E Haworth at St Philips, Bilton Grange. But I can't find any Barley / Haworth births between 1906 and 1911 on the online GRO birth index.

This must be Mary and the children in 1911:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults 10 Victoria Ter, Drypool Mary E Barley Wife 32 Married 5 years, 2 children, 2 living - crossed out and replaced with none for both Blackburn Lancs Catherine J Howarth Stepdaughter crossed out and replaced with daughter, 12, school, Bradford Yorkshire Albert Howarth Stepson crossed out and replaced with son, 11, school, Bradford Yorkshire. Although "wife" hasn't been crossed out and replaced with "head", I guess that the stepdaughter / daughter, stepson / son change was made to fit with Mary being head instead of Fred.

That's great Kate, thanks. If the children weren't Fred's, no wonder I couldn't find them.
I haven't managed to find them in 1901 though or a birth for them. Fred was at home with his parents in Barton upon Humber in 1901

There is a birth for a Catherine Jane Ellis Apr-Jun 1898 Bradford, MMN Diggle. But I haven't found a likely birth reg for Albert yet.

Okay, there is a Mary Ellen Diggle birth Jul-Sep 1878 Blackburn with MMN Haworth. But I haven't found a marriage to George Ellis yet.

Why would she marry Fred, using the name of Haworth, if that was only her mother's maiden name, unless she was still married to George Ellis?
Very strange

This is Mary in 1881:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults 3 Swarbrick St, Blackburn Abram Diggle Head M 44 Master of machines in foundry Bolton Lanc Catherine " Wife " 39 Blackburn " Daniel " Son Unm 20 Machine maker " " Walter " " 13 General labourer " " Charles A " " 11 Cotton loomer " " Albert Diggle Son 5 Infant Blackburn Lanc Mary E " Daug 2 " " " Nancy A " " 2 " " " Catherine J " 2 mths " " " Abraham Diggle married Catherine Howarth / Haworth Jul-Sep 1860 Blackburn. 1891 census: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults 10 Rose Hill, Blackburn Catherine Deggle Head Wid 48 Cotton winder Blackburn Lanc Albert Do Son S 16 Apprentice ????? Do Do Mary Do Daur 13 Cotton Weaver Do Do Nancy Ann Do Do 12 Do Do Do Catherine J Do Do 10 Scholar Do Do. Strange that Mary and Nancy are down as different ages when they were twins! Doesn't really help with figuring out who Mary married and when though.
