Harry Barker of Mablins Lane - Coppenhall
Just let me say for those who may not know that there were two COPPENHALLS in Cheshire - 'Monks Coppenhall' and 'Church Coppenhall'- both were absorbed into Crewe.

Harry was illegitimate and his mother Emma Barker - so family legend has it - was made pregnant by someone at the farm where she was 'in service'. Emma eventually married James Barnes who, my mother used to say, 'took Harry in and brought him up as if he were his own.' Any links?
