Notes for Henry Barringham: You'll notice, in the '81 census, that Henry and Charlotte Barringham are living with James. Henry later founded a confectionery business - I think the name was Henry Barringham Sweets Ltd (and judging by an entry in another census, he may have got the idea from the Turver family). His nephew Robert Barringham returned from working as a silversmith in Meriden, Connecticut (whence he'd followed his uncle George, as I explained to the family, in Cornwall - hence the Californian cousin), in order to take over the family business. (Still with me? :-) ) Then, Henry's nephew Robert married Charlotte's niece - another Charlotte Turver, George Turver's only surviving child. Robert and Charlotte Barringham's only child was my mother. My father ran the confectionery business before closing it, in an era when such small companies were not viable (as I understand it) - at which point he moved into lecturing. My late step-father (who was also my god-father) was the long-serving Chairman of Bassett's, of Liquorice Allsorts fame. So this, obviously, is why I like chocolate so much!
