Name Mary Barrett Birth 1748 Christening 21 Nov 1748 Appleton, Berkshire, England [1] Gender Female Burial 22 Apr 1796 Faringdon, Berkshire, England [2] Siblings 7 siblings Histories 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 treePerson ID I1911 Main Tree Last Modified 26 Nov 2020
Parent Richard Barrett, b. Abt 1703, East Garston, Berkshire, England Parent Ann Barrett, c. 1 Feb 1712, Coleshill, Berkshire, England Marriage 3 Nov 1745 South Hinksey, Berkshire, England Notes - This potential spouse is one of two Annes that Richard could have married so this marriage is unproven. This is the most appealing marriage of the two for us, because this Anne Barrett is the child of John Barrett (I397) which means that this leg of the family does, in fact, connect back to a common ancestor, John.
This Anne's record existed in our family tree before the research of Henry Barrett' s ancestors began.
Further research by Sheila Wheatley concludes that this is the most probable spouse.
