Preview:Henry and Elizabeth BARNES were my husband's great great grandparents. Henry BARNES was baptised on March 26, 1780 in Northchapel - the sixth child and third son of John BARNES (1743-1814) and Mary PHILP (1744-1811). Henry first drew himself to public attention when Ann LILLYWHITE of Northchapel took out a bastardy order against him in April 1801. He was adjudged to be responsible for her pregnancy and ordered to pay expenses towards her lying-in. Henry finally paid his dues in December 1802. Because I have been unable to trace the birth of a child to Ann I suspect that the child may have been stillborn. Henry does not appear to have been implicated when Ann had another illegitimate child a few years later.
