Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Welcome, YvonneP. Are you related to Canon Barber? As mentioned earlier in the thread, I have the papers and family photographic archive of Ruth Barber 1899 to 1995 (later Haslam) daughter of Dr Barber of Ivy Cottage, Church Street, Eastwood and his wife, Alice Georgiana Strelley. Ruth is related to Canon Barber in some way I have never managed to work out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Further to the above 1881 Census , the marriage of Robert Barber and Elizabeth Catherine Baker occurred at Biggleswade in Sept Qtr 1874 . The death of Canon Barber's father Robert Barber , as announced in the South Notts Echo , 26th March 1929 and a mention of Lamb Close House . Hucknall Vicar Bereaved. The death occurred on Monday night at Avenue, Sherwood Rise, Nottingham, in his 81st year, of Mr. Robert Barber, sen., principal of the firm of Robert Barber and Sons, solicitors, of19. Castle Gate, Nottingham. He is the father of the Rev. Canon Barber, Vicar of Hucknall. Mr. Barber, who was the son of the late Mr. Thomas Barber, of Lamb Close House, Greasley, was born on August 1, 1848, and educated at Uppingham and Jesus College, Cambridge. Deciding to take up a legal career, he was articled to Mr. Walter Browne, of the firm of Campbell, Burton, and Browne, then a well-known firm of solicitors, practising in Nottingham. Later, the partnership was dissolved, and when Mr. Barber was admitted as a solicitor in 1874 he took over the practice which Mr. Browne had continued to carry on. Some eight years ago he was joined by two of his sons, and the firm became Robert Barberand Sons. A staunch churchman, Mr. Barber was a prominent member of the congregation of St. Andrew's Church, and over a long period had charge of the Men's Bible Class. He also conducted services at St. Andrew's Mission. When the Nottingham Incorporated Law Society was inaugurated in 1875 the deceased gentleman was one of the first members. For a number of years he represented Newthorpe on the Notts. County Council, and upon his resignation was succeeded by his nephew. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,533 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Re. above post. Just before I got to 'Hucknall Vicar bereaved,' I was going to say Robert Barber & Son solicitors are based on Church Street Eastwood. Suppose I need to get out of bed earlier!

I thought it was a good time to start gathering some information on my father's family tree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have a photo of Canon Barber and Ruth Barber's grandson has always been struck by the resemblance to his grandmother in old age. Precisely what the family connection is, we don't know but she always said she was related to the Lamb Close Barbers. Her father, Dr Robert David Barber, died young. Too much of a fondness for the demon drink! Good luck with your research. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
