• source. Matthew Anderson @ genes who states:

(We have now discovered the family under the name of Barkby and feel that the name got changed when they moved over to Staffordshire.) We did find a family of Barkby living in Bedworth at the right time and they did in fact have a son John born around the right time but he appears to have married someone other than Sarah Davies, so we have discounted this. 1851 Census for Queen Street, Princes End, Sedgley, Wolverhampton,Staffs.
