Dear Friends,
This is a long shot, but I'm doing some family history for one of the
blokes who was with me in Vietnam and have found out that he descends
from a Northamptonshire lacemaker. She was Mary Ann BARKER (nee
JAMES) b. 1824 Ecton, Northamptonshire, d. 1907 Northampton. Her 7
children were all born at Earls Barton between 1845 and 1867. She
gave her occupation on the 1851 census as "Lacemaker". How on earth
could she concentrate with all those kids running wild :)
Just wondering on the off chance whether anyone has ever come across
anything of her or her work? Or is there perhaps an Erals Barton
museum which might know something?
Thanks
David in Ballarat
