I'm hoping someone on this forum might have the resources to help me find this George BARKER family in 1841. A very kind lady on the LANCSGEN list was able to find one daughter living with George Barker's sister, Sarah Osborne. I am including the subsequent census listing for the family in an effort to show the family's movements and migrations. Possibly someone on this forum will have enough knowledge of the parish names and be able to figure out where they may be listed.

Thanks so much,
Charlotte

In 1841 the family may look something like this:
BARKER
.... George...40
.... Margaret...34
.... John...17
(Elizabeth...12)
.... Sarah...10

I don't know if you were still looking for this, or if we may have answered this previously, but just in case:

Residing in Egton cum Newland, Colton in 1841:

George BARKER, 40, founder, yes
Margaret BARKER, 30, yes
Sarah BARKER, 10, yes
Mary BARKER, 9, yes

Not an exact match, but close.

Margaret
