Ann CRISP formerly ELTON nee BARLOW was the daughter of James BARLOW³. I have tagged him as '3' to distinguish him from his father and grandfather who are also named James.

James BARLOW³ was a Seaman in 1861 and lived in Durham. When the census was taken, he was not home as the record below shows.

  • John WATT, lr, 14, Stokesley, York

James BARLOW³ married Ann DENNIS, April 25, 1854 in Sunderland, Durham. Their marriage certificate lists his father as James BARLOW² and her father as James DENNIS. James³ was born in Limehouse according to the 1881 census; Shelia Piper has located his baptism in the Bishop's transcripts: 7th Feb 1835 at St Anns, Limehouse. I found him at home in the 1841 census:

• 1841 Census, Regents Canal Dock, St. Ann Limehouse, Middlesex
  • James BARLOW¹, 40, Lighterman, Yes
  • Sarah BARLOW, 30, Yes
  • Edward BARLOW, 8, Yes
  • James BARLOW², 6, Yes
  • Maria BARLOW, 4, Yes
  • Eliza BARLOW, 1, Yes

Compare the above 1841 record with the following found in the 1851 census

• 1851 Census, 41 Fore St., Limehouse, Middlesex
  • Sarah BARLOW, Head, 'M', 40, Beer Retailer, Limehouse
  • Edward BARLOW, son, 18, Mast Makers Apprentice, Limehouse
  • Maria BARLOW, dau, 13, at home, Limehouse
  • Eliza BARLOW, dau, 11, scholar, Limehouse
  • Chas BARLOW, son, 10, scholar, Limehouse
  • Dalby BARLOW, son, 8, scholar, Limehouse
  • Marian BARLOWw, dau, 2, at home, Limehouse
  • James HINE, Visitor, 42, Master Mariner, Scotland

Its clear that Sarah, Edward and Maria are the same persons as in the 1841 census. Notice the absence of James¹; he had in fact died June 09, 1850, at age 50. The place of death on his certificate is 1 Regents Canal Dock, Limehouse. That Sarah is shown as 'M' for married is a mistake, it should be 'W' for widow. Between the civil records, the parish register of St Ann's Limehouse and the Bishop's transcripts the baptismal/birth records of the children are as follows:

• Alfred Charles: born 5th Feb 1831, bapt 17th April 1831
• Edward Thomas: born 16th Feb 1833, bapt 14th 1833
• James Samuel: bapt 7th Feb 1835
• Maria Ann; born 30th April 1837, bapt 12th July 1837
• Eliza Mary: born 27th Aug 1839
• Charles William: born 3rd Jan 1842, bapt 6th Feb1842.
• Dalby Frederick: born 27th April 1844, bapt 13th Oct 1844
• Marion Hannah: born 13th April 1849, bapt 3rd June 1849

James BARLOW¹ was born 22nd July 1798 at Risbys Ropewalk. He was baptised 26th August at St. Annes, Limehouse. According to Watermen & Lightermen Apprentice Bindings, 1692-1949 he was apprenticed to Margaret BARLOW as a 'Lighterman' from 22nd Dec. 1814 to 8th October 1829. He married Sarah WILLIAMS 28th February 1830, St Dunstan, Stepney. Witnesses were James Green WARD and Elizabeth WARD.

Finnally, James BARLOW¹ is the son of Margaret and George BARLOW as revealed in his birth record.
