The Barker Family of Withernwick
  
The Barker family lived in Withernwick for a long time, they lived in Church Lane.
The first photograph is of the whole family including Thirza Harsley, Thirza was probably the illegitimate daughter of Bertha and Billy:
when younger she was bought up by Jane Harsley (Bertha's mother), but later joined the Barker family (they lived next door to each other anyway),
click here to see more photos of Thirza. To add to complications, Lily (Lilian) is also known as Harsley
Elsie was also an adopted daughter, later she married Joe Crawforth, click here to see later photos.
