Jan from Ed treedeath certificate provided by Diana Moore from Archives Departementales, Conseil general dea Cotes-d'Armor #261 wirnessed by Benjamin Barrow aged 76
on 22 Sep 2016 Diane Moore wrote ''I am writing a bilingual book about the English-speaking community which lived in Dinan, France, in the 19th century. Jacob Lyon Barrow died in Dinan in 1890 and is buried in the English Cemetery which I am currently charting. I was wondering if you might have a photograph of him as I am keen to illustrate my book as much as possible. Of course, all credits will be acknowledged. Also buried in the same cemetery are James Stark Skipper and his wife Emma.''
and on 26 Sep ''If you do find something to do with Jacob Lyon Barrow it would be great. He is mentioned quite frequently in the hitherto unpublished diaries of an Anglo-French gentleman who lived in Dinan at the time. Barrow lived in a very impressive mansion called La Foresterie in Léhon, just outside Dinan.''
on 27 Sep ''On his death certificate it just says Jacob Barrow, likewise on the gravestone. I came across the name Lyon when searching online...in conjunction with Joseph Lyon Barrow. In my work I am just using Jacob Barrow. '' and
''The reason why I gave Jacob the Lyon middle name by mistake was because Joseph had it and as they both died in 1890, I got muddled!! However, Joseph died in Southampton and Jacob in Dinan.''
and ''He was buried by the Anglican church in Dinan and his name appears in the register of burials. I only discovered his Jewish connections through your website. There is no Jewish section to the cemetery. It is interesting that his next of kin opted for a granite cross. Many graves just have slabs or headstones. The author of the diaries says that there were very few people at his funeral.
Would you by any chance have photos of Joseph Lyon Barrow? The Barrows are listed as having been in Dinan since at least 1876. The census for that year is interesting (attached). Maybe some of the names of his children might ring a bell?''DEATH: Also shown as Died Dinan, Place Duguesdin.
