Barker of Barker's Farm Tunstall

Posted: Wed 07th Jul 2010 6:44am By barkerclan

Hi everyone, i'm a Barker in Melbourne Australia and I would love to have anything, infiormation, photos, whatever, on the Barker Farm (?) owned by Hutchinson Barker in the 1800s and his father Joseph (and then Hutchinson's son Hutchinson).

I know it is in or around Tunstall but unfortunately I have no further information. I do believe there may be buried in or near Tunstall, this same Barker clan - so many of you! My mother's name is Doris Simmonds nee Barker, her father was George W Barker whose father was Thomas whose father was Hutchinson Junior (who kicked out sister Mary for conceiving of a child out of wedlock), whose father was Hutchinson Snr whose father was Joseph, and that's as far as I can get back.

I would love any information at all on the whole Barker geneology, pics, anything, and i would happily houseswap or whatever eventually. FYI mum is 83 now and well, though her cousin, Ethel Barker died last year and is sadly missed. Please someone write to me! I look forward to hearing from you all with any pics stories etc.

Another place to have a look locally for Stoke-on-Trent history is http://www.thepotteries.org/ if nothing else, he might help you discover your heritage.

Jen,
the tunstall you are asking about is it The Potteries Tunstall or another Tunstall?
i see that you have had some luck with a different forum which talks about a Yorkshire Tunstall.

this "mytunstall" is the potteries tunstall in staffordshire so you may not get the information you are after from this area.

good luck though:)

I know, i have the wrong
