Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1851, Appleton, Berkshire, England

Notes:

"Stephen Barrett is the father-in-law of Elizabeth Alder, who is the cousin of Ferberd Barrett, who is the 2 x great grandfather of Sheila (I130), Paul (I947) and Christine (I571) Barrett."
If the relationship of Stephen's son Henry was obscure, adding a generation just makes it more so. Nevertheless, the search for a shared ancestor has to follow this route and Henry's relationship to his father and mother was easy to establish through Census records and marriage certificates, Unfortunately establishing Stephen's parentage was not so easy. His mother we reasonably sure of but the records do not precisely identify his father, who could be either of Richard b1785 (i1707) or Richard b1778 (i1708).

Clearly it would be good to identify the correct Richard but in one respect it makes no difference because their fathers are bothers, their grandfather is shared, so the line back to a potential common ancestor converges again after two generations.

Stephen married Jane White on 8 May 1841 in Parish Church, Appleton, Berkshire, England. Jane was born about 1810 in Hinton, Berkshire, England; was christened on 30 Sep 1810 in Hinton Waldrist, Berkshire, England; was buried on 7 Nov 1887 in Appleton, Berkshire, England.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1851, Appleton, Berkshire, England
• Occupation: 1851, Appleton, Berkshire, England; Charwoman

Notes:

Jane was baptised Jane Kent in 1810' Her first husband was Charles White who died at the age of 29 in 1839/40.
She later married Stephen Barrett in 1841

Notes:

Richard born 1778 is found on the third row down on the right hand side of map.
The original research thought that he married a Sarah Marsh in Kent in 1805.
There is a typo, sorry folks, Sarah White(I1706) has her name there which is correct but she married Richard at St. Ebbe's Oxford which is approximately 8 miles east of Appleton.

Richard married Sarah White on 21 Jul 1805 in St Ebbes, 2 Roger Bacon Lane, Oxford, Oxforshire, England. Sarah was born on 21 Dec 1781 in Wantage, Berkshire, England; was christened on 27 Mar 1782 in Wantage, Berkshire, England; was buried on 5 Feb 1862 in Appleton, Berkshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1851, Appleton, Berkshire, England
• Occupation: 1851, Appleton, Berkshire, England; Previous Farm Servant (Pauper)

Notes:

Sarah White is known to be the mother of Henry Barrett but there are two possible candidates for his father, Richard Barrett b 1785 and Richard Barrett b 1778. We have therefore shown these as Unproven Alternatives and attached both of them to Sarah as potential husbands

Notes:

This is one of two possible Richard Barretts that could have married Sarah White but. after careful research by Sheila Wheatley, the balance of probability favours this one.

Further research shows only this Richard married Sarah White.
