    • Census: 1901, not known

    Notes:

    Part of a posting on the Ancestry message boards dated 22nd Feb 2005:-

    "The family story has it that she was working in a big house as a domestic servant when the next door neighbour who was a major in the army was visited by William Barr, a mere private, and after delivering the message was sent to the kitchen for a cuppa. There he met Ada from next door. They married soon after. Romantic isn't it? William Barr rose to a quartermaster sergeant in the Royal Engineers and 10-years later (1902) their son John Victor Barr was born in Gillingham, Kent."

    I have been unable to trace Fred and I have no clues as to his connection with Ada. CVM
