Henry Barrett b 1854 and Elizabeth Alder b 1850, and Henry's Ancestors
This is a summary of the research carried out by Sheila Wheatley with input from Paul Barrett into the history of Henry (aka Harry) Barrett b 1854 and Elizabeth Alder b 1850. Henry and Elizabeth were married 7 Nov 1874. We want to document Henry's ancestors to see if we share a common ancestor, and we would also like to reach out to other researchers of the Barretts and Alders of Berkshire / Oxfordshire, England for help resolving some issues. |

| Unpicking the complex ancestry of Henry Barrett c 7 Nov 1854
As we stepped back through the Barrett ancestors we hit a problem with Henry' because there were a few ambiguities in spousal relationships where it could have been possible for someone to have married either/or partners. And cousins were marrying too, so husband and wife had the same birth name,
Sheila has studied the Berkshire CDs and concluded that the most probable relationships are those shown on this chart, A significant factor in this conclusion is the parentage of the many children Sheila discovered, all of whom appear on the chart and have been added to the family tree |
| Notes |
- Henry Barrett is not a direct relation of the family that includes Sheila (I130). Paul (I947) and Christine (I571) Barrett. He is the husband of Elizabeth Alder, who is the cousin of Ferberd Barrett, who is the 2 x great grandfather of the three of us. Why is the ancestry of a man so distant from us so interesting?
Two reasons:
1. The name Henry (Harry) always deserves looking at because it is frequently associated with the peculiar family first name "Ferberd", the origin of which is what caused our father, Ferberd Henry Barrett, to start researching the family tree in about 1967.
2. Despite the apparent lack of blood relationship, there was a possibility of a shared ancestor
