Hi John
My tree goes back to Agnes Barr b.1778 in Lochinvar, Renfrew. You indicate that her parents were William BARR and Ann FAIRSERVICE....can you please confirm where this info came from - and also if you have anything earlier on William & Ann apart from their marriage 4 june 1774 (ie were Jean and James her siblings?)
regards
Bryan

Hi Bryan
Pam mentioned Agnes as being daughter of Willam & Anne. She was born 19/09/1790. my ancestor was her sister, Janet Barr born 10/07/1778. Williams mother & father were John Barr & janet Mc Cun. All data has been verified with Scottish Register via Scotlands People. Have electronic copies of cert., if the Agnes Barr is the same one. Do you have a death date for Agnes to try & verify.
All the best
John

Hi all,
Im new to this and am trying to find out more about my family tree, I know the basics through word of mouth and sites like this have confirmed my heritage. But I would really like to start to compile my family tree and Get to know the "story" of my family and where i came from!
Any help with this would be great.
I am a Barr and was born in Dublin, brought up in Kildare and now have settled in Co. Westmeath. My Father is Robert Barr son of Robert Barr.
Kind regards
Graeme Barr

Hi greame
If your family is from Dublin you may have some dificulty as a lot of the records were destroyed in 1922. General register office in Dublin may help. I f of a Scottish background try www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. Good luck

Thanks for that.
I have been told we were Scottish, and came down from Northern Ireland. Now i see people claiming the same family tree with same names but from farms in Donegal? I will try this site and go from there.
Thanks for your help.
Graeme.

Hi Ann
I would be interested in any information you have about Helen / Ellen Barr. I am also descended from a child of Hugh Barr and Mary Templeton. Rebecca Barr was born about 1783 and married a James Barr (no relation that I know of). I haven't a bith for Helen. Would you know when she was born and died?
Regards
Wendy

Hi wendy
I don't have her baptism tho I do have rebeccas baptism. I can't work out why Helen's isn;t there.
I do however have her marriage and her death cert. Helen died on 21/9/1860 in Paisley (5 Queen St). Going by age at death she was born about 1787 so younger than Rebecca. There are some odd gaps between the 3 children Hugh and Mary had that are listed on Scotland;s People. I think there were more children. Some perhaps may have died very young hence no baptisms. And of course cos pre 1855 no death records in Paisley.
I also have Hugh Barr & Mary Templeton's marriage banns in 1782 which was in Ochiltree Ayrshire tho Hugh was from Paisley. I'm just about to start unravelling this having spent what seems forever on the Robertsons and hit a bit of a brick wall.
But Helen is my direct line so next task is to try and find out more about her..
If you PM me your email. Happy to share what info I have.
Ann

Hi Ann
Thank you so much for replying- I never thought I would find any Barr relatives out there as the other side of the family seemed to have died off in Paisley and I wasn't aware of the existence of Helen. Iagree that there should be more children, at least a son John to go with the naming pattern.
Rebecca married James Barr in June 1803. They had 6 children, including my ggg grandfather James who emigrated to Australia in 1849. He had a brother John who emigrated to New Zealand and became somwhat famous there as a poet who wrote in the style of Robert Burns. My father has a book of his poems. The other children, sons William and Hugh, and daughters Mary and Sarah Rebecca remained in Scotland. Mary married the Rev. John Symington but had no children. sarah married James Jamieson Lamb.
Rebecca died 11 June 1839 in Paisley.
I would appreciate any info that you are willing to send.
The best email address is (*)
Regards
Wendy

To Ann Baker
Hello Ann
I was pleased to read your info re Helen Barr's death date as I am working on the same family in 1851 census living at 33 Castle St Paisley, hoping they are my husband's ancestors. His gggrandparents were William Robertson (weaver) and Elizabeth Grozet who married 30 Jan 1829 in Paisley. Their son Alexander was born c1840 in Paisley and married in 1870. His father William was still living and Elizabeth was deceased. I am hoping William (45) and Alexr (12) shown on the 1851 census are our family.
William (son of William and Helen Barr) 45 married Elisabeth Wylie in 1849 and think this could be his second marriage.
Haven't been able to verify the link as I can't find William's death certificate - would have been between 1871 census and 31 Dec 1875 when their daughter Agnes married.
I would greatly appreciate any info you are willing to give me.
Regards....Rae

Hi Rae
It's definitely the same family. My William did marry an Elizabeth Wylie (who had previously been married to a James Watt). William is my gtx3 grandfather.
On the 1851 he is with his father and brothers at his parents house. Elizabeth is with her parents with her daughter Janet Watt.
Happy to share what info I have. Please PM me your email address as I can't post images on boards cos of copyright.
Best Wishes
Ann
