They give with one hand, take with the other...

[Tom Tom]

Rebecca Barker was christened in 1777 in Donington On Bain, Lincolnshire, daughter of Francis Barker and Rebecca

They also had a son in 1775 in Donington.

Rebecca (the mother) died in 1841 in Great Carlton aged 88.

I think Francis and Rebecca also had some children in Scamblesby -
Elizabeth in 1778
Francis in 1780
Frances in 1783
Mary in 1793

Now, I know that banns were read in Donington in 1773 between a Francis Barker, of this parish and Rebecca ??? of the parish of ???

The trouble is, I cannot make out her surname or the parish she is from!

Please can anyone help?

Thanks for looking.

Might have solved it myself!


Francis Barker married Rebekah Kitching in Yarburgh 11 May 1773.

Forgot about free reg!

Well done! lol

Lol, thanks Merry.

Sometimes just writing it down helps I think.

The other problem is the entry before this one is for a Frances Barker - possibly sister of Francis Barker?

Unfortunately, I don't know when Francis died (other than before 1841) so don't know when he was born or who his parents were.
