Searching for Frank Shaw Barker

[Guest Helene]

Does anyone have any info on Frank Shaw Barker. What I do know is that he was born around 1881 and his Father Joseph was believed to be a glass blower. Frank was married to Sarah Coupland, late Cartwright, formerly Liversidge and the family lived in Surrey Road, Darnall. After Sarah's death in 1926, Frank re-married Frances Congreve, formerly Franks. Frank Barker was a Coal Miner and lived in or around Darnall from at least 1908 and may have worked at Tinsley Park Colliery, he died in 1948 and is buried in Coventry Road Cemetery. Have tried the Census returns, BMD entries all to no gain. Frank was my Great Grandfather and I'm keen to learn more about him and his parents as my family tree on his line has come to an abrupt halt. Hope someone out there can help, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Maybe a brother etc. Just a thought. :)

Thank you for the info, will look into the links. I know there were a number of Barkers living in the area, so fingers crossed.
