    Louis Barnett - Furniture Dealer, Holloway Head, 1880s

    The Louis I am looking for doesn't have a brother Lazarus, but Annie and Louis had a son Lazarus (but in the 1891 census son Lazarus appears to have changed his name to his father Louis, who died in 1886). Sometimes the marriage certificates are a single page and show the bride and groom plus...

    Louis Barnett - Furniture Dealer, Holloway Head, 1880s

    I'm at the point now where I don't have any other options. MC is probably the only way to check it. The register transcript has him as Lewis, not Louis as in census records, and she is Annie, but Hannah in the 1981 census. I've generally found Marriage Certificates to be the most...

    Louis Barnett - Furniture Dealer, Holloway Head, 1880s

    Does anyone have knowledge of Louis Barnett, a Birmingham Furniture Dealer in the 1880s? His address in 1881 was 47 Holloway Head. He was Polish born (c. 1950) and I believe died in about 1886. His widow Hannah (aka Annie) carried on the business until at least 1911. looking at a street view...
