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.

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 ancestorHenry married Elizabeth Alder on 7 Nov 1874 in Parish Church, Tubney, Berkshire, England. Elizabeth (daughter of James Alder and Anne (Alder)) was born about 1850 in Tubney, Berkshire, England; was christened on 10 Feb 1850 in Tubney, Berkshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
