My Great Grandmother was Margaretta Barker (DoB 1872) and she married Peter Steele in 1894 at Bootle, Cumberland, England.
Her parents were Abraham Barker (Born 1837, Backbarrow, Lancashire, died 1879, Broughton In Furness, Lancashire, England) and Margaretta Dixon (born 1847, Millom, Cumberland, England) - married June 28 1867, Broughton.
Abraham's parents were Robert Barker (born 1813, Backbarrow, died Feb. 20 1877, Low Kepplewray, Broughton) and Mary Lewis (born June 18, 1809, Newby Bridge, Lancashire, died 1879, Kepplewray - married Feb.16 1833, Colton, Lancashire.
Robert's parents are James Barker (born abt. 1763, Backbarrow, died 1835, Backbarrow) and Elizabeth Askew (born abt. 1773, Old Hall, Bouth, Lancashire, died November 25 1843, Backbarrow) - married Jan. 8 1794, Cartmel Priory, Cartmel, Lancashire.
I hope that this is of assistance. If this ties in with your line I have more info on the siblings and offspring for the Barkers and the parents of Margaretta, Mary and Elizabeth.
