BARNARD William Naboth b1871 Mitcheldean (General)

Hello there.

I am trying to find any information on my wifes Great grandfather William Naboth Barnard, according to the 1911 and 1901 census he was born in 1871 in Mitcheldean.

We do not know of any brothers or sisters or the names of his parents.

We know his second child Beatrice was born in Herefordshire in 1897 and then he moved to London, from there we have the rest of the story.

During the great war he owned a farm in Suffolk and so we can only assume he came from a farming background.

There a few things we are finding a little confusing, firstly we have a marriage certificate and he is the father and he is called Naboth on it and yet in some census returns he is just William.

Secondly we know he was from Mitcheldean, but are Mitcheldean and East Dean known as the same as there are a few Barnards from East Dean.

Our tree is posted on Ancestry.co.uk if its of interest to anyone.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone who may have anything to add to the puzzle.

Kind regards

Andy
