  		The Ancestry of Henry Barrett (I1685) The search for a common ancestor with Sheila (I130), Paul (I947) and Christine (I571) Barrett
  		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.

  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 tree
  Notes	Cannot find burial date Found a Jonathan Barrett buried 1754 at Coleshill and he was described as an "Ancient Man". I have accounted for all the Jonathan's in our tree and wondered if this could possibly be a typo and could be our John. It would make our John about 93 at the time of his death, but he was described as "an ancient man" so this could be a possibility. Sheila 12/ May/2021
