What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

Got an Enos Furness here, born in 1835 (Tweedale says "c.1836") with a son (also Enos) born in 1876. Bradfield is next parish over from Stannington (and scene of Edward Furness's boozing at the Cross Daggers! :D )

This might be a smoking gun! :D

Thanks my friend, I'm having a new bed delivered in the morning, and dismantled my old one this afternoon to make room, so when I say 'hit the sack' it isn't far off! :eek: :D :thumbup:

Blade's[/B]Guide also attributes E.F. & S to Enos Furness, with "ED F & S" attributed to Edward Furness.

Actually, this is the same information that is in the Bernard Levine guides - on page 210 of the 4th edition. The reference to Enoch Furness is at the beginning of the book (page 53), with the same being replicated in the later editions. Presumably, this is an error, and should read Enos rather than Enoch.

Really like your Furness Gevo!!!!!!

That is a nice Furness, Gev, full of character!,
The marking is compelling that it indicates Edward I'd say.
Bernie Levine may have been wrong in the Enos vs. Enoch discussion. It's amazing what a simple typo or illegible scribble can do to muddy the story!:rolleyes:

I think it was probably just a typo in the text Charlie, as it contradicts what is said later in the book (in the Barlow section). Incredible that it has never been corrected and has been quoted extensively. I don't have a copy of Goins, but I believe that says Enos, as BRL cites it himself :thumbup:

I used to have a friend whose father (both are long deceased) was called Lois, because his own father, being illiterate, mis-spelled Louis when he went to register the birth! :eek: :D

Thank you, Charlie! It's a joy

Reminds me of "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash!:p
Lois probably grew up tough!!:cool:

LOL! :D In his younger days, I don't think Lois really existed here as a name. It's still pretty rare, despite The Man of Steel! :D Even so, old Lois was always known by the nickname of 'Josh', not sure where that came from, but I imagine he was glad of it! ;)
 
All the historical stuff (not to mention the "hidden message" poetry, Primble's slightly out-of-season Latin canticles, and the photos) in this thread recently has been very informative and entertaining! Thanks, Gev, Jack, Charlie, et al.!! :thumbup:;):thumbup:
