[List-Cumbria] [List-Cumberland] Carlisle Journal, 05 Mar 1814 - BMD

[Petra Mitchinson]

Well, the newspaper clearly says BARBER. But newspapers make lots of mistakes, so you may well be right.

 

However, the Caledonian Mercury of 03 Mar 1814 also has her husband as Robert BARBER.

 

But then again, newspapers copied off each other, including copying mistakes...

 

I couldn't find any other mention of this death, neither as BARBER nor as BARKER.

  Not for a second do I doubt your work, Petra, but just wondering if this could be BARKER rather than BARBER. I have many BARKER family members in Dumfries. Just fishin’ 😊
