London Gazette entries for Osmond Barnes [1]

For O. Barnes (restricted to years of service) [2] David Underdown (talk) 16:40, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] High Sheriff of Herts

I'm confused, both sources list Frederick Cass as Sheriff for 1844?? David Underdown (talk) 16:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, David, my mistake. It seems Barnes was High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1844. Chorleywood, although in Hertfordshire, is close to its boundary with Buckinghamshire. Xn4 12:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Make smore sense. Looks like the Obit was wrong about 1834, this London Gazette: no. 19125, page 206,. Retrieved on 2008-01-28. carrys the original appointments for that year, and it's not him, and it doesn't look as if there was a later change (e.g. due to the incumbent dying)
Just as well you spotted it, and thanks for making the correction to High Sheriff of Hertfordshire. Xn4 14:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
