Particulars of ChildrenIt shows at the bottom of the page the list of four children born to Joseph Thomas Stewart Barker and Mary Theresa Barker his wife. It is clear to anyone viewing this list, that although the date of his birth is surprisingly missing, there is such a similarity of names that they must be the one family. Stewart was a family name and each child had it including my Mother Anne Stewart Barker. She knew his birth date and was close to her brother through all his life. He was the favourite of the family.Contributed by:
