Also shown, in different handwriting, is one of his children Katherine Barnard (1844-1912) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Barnard-4055 living at 12 Highbury Terrace, Islington, Middlesex from before 1911 until her death, and one of his grandchildren Kate Barnard Blaikley (1879-1969) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blaikley-22 living at 5 Canfield Gardens, Hampstead, Middlesex from before 1939 until before her death.
