William Price BARRETT

[shally]

I am trying to find out when William Price Barrett immigrated to australia. I think it must have been between 1851 and 1855 as he and wife Caroline had a son in South Australia in 1855. I'm pretty sure they had two sons before they came to Australia - (William Charles and Henry George). The info I've found here in South Australia is very vague. I'm looking for any info about this family as I think this is the line I'm related to. If anyone has info on this Barrett family I'd be extremely grateful as there seems to be a lot of brick walls. I'm trying to verify if William Price Barrett's son Henry George Barrett is my great grandfather.

I can see only the one birth.....

Walter BARRETT born 19th October 1859 at Angaston.
Parents = William Price BARRETT & Caroline HAYNES
Ref = Ang 18/416

Many early births in the mid north of South Australia don't appear in the Indexes for a variety of reasons.
