How can you lose someone called Thursa Eliza Rayner Barnes?
Thursa Eliza Rayner Barnes birth registered Jul 1859 - West Ham, Essex.
She appears with her parents William Barnes & Mary Barnes (nee Rayner) in 1851 at 8 Bidder Street, West Ham. Also in the family are her siblings Walter 17 b Holt; Arthur 9 b. Holt and Britannia aged 4 born Canning Town. Then nothing. She just vanishes. All sightings will be gratefully received!

I'd just found the 1881 census before you posted, KR, but thanks or the wedding. I couldn't see it on Ancestry. I keep forgetting about FreeBMD.
I'm puzzled about Mary Searl - she must have remarried after William Barnes' death. This family are going to be a headache. The census is AWFUL, terrible handwriting! Thanks as ever for your help.

And this is Mary and Britannia in 1871 (surname Searle) but no Thirza:
1871 census Mary is wife to a John Searle born Hertford.

There's an amendment to Britannia (Br Tanner) which gives info. Curiously, Mary Searle appears in 1891 and 1901 with her widowed son-in-law John and is recorded as Mary Barnes.

Our trees will meet up sooner or later, Nell, though not with this branch. I have Rayners born in Glandford, (there have always been Rayners in the area, m'boy - said Basil Couzens Hardy to one of Mum's cousins) but we were incomers and those Rayners were "the other" Rayners.
Britannia is a good Norfolk name.

OOOhhh!
Oddly enough, I have 2 other "cousins" through genealogy and they are also in my Norfolk branch. This is the only Britannia I've come across. Her grandfather, Mark Barnes of Langham, is my 3 x gt grandfather.
