Editing Thomas Barnes (journalist) (section)

==Personal life==
Though Barnes never married, he had a relationship for over two decades with Dinah Mary Mondet. Together they lived at 49 [[Nelson Square]] Southwark, London from 1821 to 1836 and then at 25 Soho Square, London. After Barnes's death in 1841, Dinah Mondet continued to live in their home in Soho Square until her own death in 1852, after which she was buried next to Barnes in [[Kensal Green Cemetery]].<ref>Phillips, op cit, p. 1014.</ref> It is probable (from correspondence with the volume, between A. N. L. Munby and the Archivist of The Times, in 1971) that an auction catalogue of 'A valuable collection of books ... comprising the library of an editor, deceased' and sold by Mr Fletcher on 11-13 May 1842 represents Barnes's library, sold by 'the administratrix', presumably Mondet. A copy of the catalogue is at Cambridge University Library (shelfmark Munby.c.155(29)).
