Varnish family, Leckhampton

[Barsby]

Looking for any information on the Varnish family from Leckhampton. John Varnish, son of John Sr. and Mary Ann, c. 1837, may be an uncle of my g-grandmother, Ellen. I have not been able to trace the family past the 1881 census nor before the 1851 census. If you are reseaching this name or have information I would like to hear from you.

Thanks for your interest. Regards, Brenda

Thanks Ann.

I have gotten that far myself. Been a real stuggle to find any trace of this family, other than what you have.
John Jr. is listed in the 1901 census but I am stuck finding what happened to the family.

Thanks again for your kind interest. Love to hear from you if you run across anything else.

Hello.

The National Burial Index has two only records for Varnish in Leckhamton
and one in Fairford, Glos [see below]

The entire NBI2 lists only 12 Varnish surname inc the Glos references.

Do you have John and Mary and family in the 1891 census. They are in Cheltenham on RG12/2048, folio 107, page 18. If you would like details let me know. There are marriages on FreeBMD for the 3 children that survived, namely Arthur, John and Sarah and also one for daughter Miriam who is in the 1901 census.

Thank you Mike, for the information on Mary, 1827. I had no data on the family pre 1841 and now I may be able to link the background of where the family came from.
You have quoted only female names, is there no male listings at this time?
If you have time and wish to contact me off site my address is

Thanks again for this info.
Brenda.

Thank you Janet for this info about the family of Varnish's. I didn't check for Miriam since I would have thought she would have carried a married name in 1901.

Please use the above address to contact me. I would like to hear if there is more I can find about this extended family.
Thanks for now, Brenda.
