Hi Dennis Anthony Barnard married Margaret Morse of Blakeney around 1956. He became my uncle upon marrying. Dennis has sadly died. I am regularly in contact with his 3 children (my cousins), so will pass this request on to them. I remember Nellie Barnard very well, she was a lovely lady but never met Harold.

thank you

I did find Harold and Nellie in Brixton Road in 1934 with Frederick and Ethel Venables visiting. but didn't see the 1936 one... and didn't realise that Frederick Venables was a Chemist. so thank you for that bit of information.

I've discovered that Frederick was much older than Harold.... so perhaps Harold worked for Frederick or had been apprentice to him??

I looked up the other pieces of information you pointed me to. and again thank you.

why would a young man leave home in Cinderford and go to London in the 1930s? would that be to study? or was he just an adventurous young man?

hi everyone

I wondered if anyone could help. I'm looking for information about Harold Alfred BARNARD born and baptised in 1906 in Cinderford.
I know that he married Nellie WINTER in 1933..... and he died in 1944. he was a Chemist & Druggist in Coleford in 1939. but apart from knowing his parentage and siblings I know little else about him.
I wondered how/why the son of a miner became a Chemist. how the opportunity arose etc.

Harold is part of my partner's paternal family and we'd both love to know more. my partner's mother told me that he and Nellie had a son Dennis but she didn't know what happened to any of them.

thanks in advance everyone
