THE  BARDEN FAMILY

Bernice Kirk from Canada and Sally Edwards in the UK are researching the Barden family. The Canadian connection came when Joseph Reuben (Edwin's son and Bernice's grandfather) emigrated in March 1911. Edwin was born in Bow Brickhill on 15 March 1843 and is seen below with his wife, Emily.  

Bernice has established genealogical links with both surviving branches of the Barden family still living in the village.

Below is Alfred John Barden born in Bow Brickhill in 1856, with his wife Mary Ann  (nee Pateman, of Houghton Regis).  Sally Edwards is great granddaughter of Alfred and Mary.

Below: Mary Ann with Lizzie who was born in Bow Brickhill in 1880 - this photograph taken behind the cottages at Caldecotte.
