Leonard BARNES
Set As Default Person -
Name Leonard BARNES Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 19 Mar 1893 Bingham, Nottinghamshire, England
- Death registration index shows born 19 Mar 1892; shown as 19 Mar 1893 in the 1939 register.
His birth registration shows it was 1893:
GRO ref: Barnes, Leonard q2 1893 Bingham RD 7b 463; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Murden
Baptised 10 May 1893 Methodist Circuit, Nottinghamshire, England
- From registers of a Methodist Circuit (transcribed data on FamilySearch, viewed 29 Dec 2022)
Shows Leonard Barnes, parents Harry and Sarah
Records from a number of circuits are on the same film, all Nottinghamshire, several different varieties of Methodism; it is not clear which Leonard's baptism was in. Given his birthplace, Bingham Circuit (Wesleyan Methodist) would seem most likely.
Gender Male Occupation 1911 Labourer in Wood Yard - Working for timber merchants Newsomer & Co.
Residence 1921 17, Florence Street, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England
- With his parents and 3 younger siblings, sisters Dora and Emmeline, and brother Leslie.

Warehouseman - For the Lincolnshire Farmers Association Ltd. A warehouseman in corn and cattle etc.
Occupation 1939 Labourer, oil engine test[er] Residence 1979 11, Florence Street, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England
- His home at the time of his death (from probate calendar)
Died 8 Apr 1979 Lincoln Reg Dist, Lincolnshire, England
- GRO ref: Barnes, Leonard q2 1979 dob 19 MR 1892 Lincoln RD 7 1545
(as well as location being the most likely RD, the date and month of dob match those in the 1939 register with the year just one out, Leonard being found with his wife and daughter in the register, so pointing conclusively to the death being this Leonard Barnes)
Date from gravestone; probate calendar appears to show 3rd but date is unclear, 8th possible and seems probable that gravestone is correct.
