I have both the Richard Barnard's mentioned in this thread in my Family Tree. The first Richard Barnard baptised 15 Jun 1834 is my Great Great Great Uncle, who married Elizabeth Harris. Obviously I know quite a lot about him, his 9 siblings and his parents Thomas Barnard 1799 & Lucy Harris.

The other Richard Barnard baptised 1821 is not directly related to me. I have him in my Family Tree as I have connections with 3 of his 8 siblings. I decided to see if I could find the marriage between Richard Barnard and Mary and found the following which appears to fit. Perhaps you could let me know if this is the correct marriage :

If this is the correct marriage, the question then is who are the parents of Mary Yemm, we already know her father is John Yemm Labourer. I have 209 Yemm's in my Family Tree so would obviously like to make a connection, I have 16 John Yemm's and 11 Mary Yemm's in my tree, but the closest to an appropriate age is Mary Yemm baptised in 1826, but her parents are Emmanuel Yemm & Sarah Wintle. Any help here would be appreciated

Could it be the Richard BARNARD who in the 1881 census was 60 years old. He was living at Haywood Mesne in the census. Any idea? Thanks.
