Under Dockyard, 1820 (Pembroke People) George- Martha - St Marys Westgate, Queen St East.
George Barnes entered as a laborer on 9/4/1813, aged 26 and became a watchman on 6/2/1814. Quarters wages, Christmas 1815, 11 pounds 15s 0d, Mid summer 1820, 12 pounds 17s 1d. Years wages 1828, 69 pounds 15s 7d. Committe member Pemb. Dock Prov. Soc.

His son George,s marrage records in 1856 gives his fathers profesion as "policeman in dockyards"
Samuel's marrage records in 1845 gives George as Sergant of Police.

1841 census does not show George with Martha, he may be included in the Dockyard census?
1851 census shows George age 61, Widdowed, Pensioner with Granson, Alfred at 15 Queen St E, Pem Dock.
1861 census gives George age 74, Married? Yard Superannuation List at 15 Queen St with Mary Barnes, wife?, age 46, b Stackpole Elidor. No record of this marrage has been found in PRs.
(is it coincidence that she is abt the same age as daughter, Mary)
A Mary Barnes, widdow, 66 is shown as the sister of Lititia Thorne wife of Anthony in 1881 at Llanstadwell.

There are conflicting birth dates for both George and his wife in various records, there may have been more than one George and Martha Barnes! We cannot be sure that all the children shown are in fact correct but George & Samuel have been confirmed by census records.

A George d 5 june 1809 and Elizabeth d 20 Feb 1837 both age 86 are buried at Monkton churchyard, these may be the parents of George, also John b 1787? and William b 1793 d 1823 possible brothers, but this is unproven.

57. Martha Phillips was born about 1785. She died on 8 Oct 1847 and was buried in Park St, Pembroke.

1841 census gives Martha age 55 and 2 children at home, George age 24 and Samuel age 20, all on Queen St E, Pembroke Dock.
