Hi all,
In the 1871 census Mary Barnard b1841 Norfolk
states she is a lodger .she has a son William Barnard b1862. Her Husband is missing in this census
On William's marriage cert states his father name is John , so the only John marriage I found in Norwich was in1858 Sept. Does this make any sense or make it clearer to anyone !!
Regards Marilyn

Have you found william's birth entry and/or have you the birth certificate?

William's birth certificate should tell you if Barnard was her married name or birth name.

"In the 1871 census Mary Barnard b1841 Norfolk

Births Mar 1862
BARNARD William St Faiths 4b 101

St Faiths is the same registration district as the 1871 census post by Glitter Baby but that William should have been born 1851

Births Dec 1851
BARNARD William S Faith 13 122

Seems to be two families.
