I offer these snips only as suggestion of time and place for the parents of your man.
Not excessively helpful.

Mary Barber, the wife of a drayman at the wharf in Hobart may have been in trouble after a row with another woman. The two clearly did not get on  :o 1853.

Possibly still there in 1882 Mrs Barber of the Old Wharf is guardian of a missing boy aged 8. Son of Sarah Bateman. 1882

1917 death of an old man named Barber at the wharf.

Hi Sue,

I appreciate anything you find you never know what might just be that missing piece of the puzzle :)

Lovely obituary for your William BARBER, shame it doesn't mention his childhood, parents or siblings
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/135837190

Btw, if you search trove using terms such as "bill barber", limiting to Tasmania, there are a number of nice items mentioning him, many of him singing at functions, and this one about his career:

Thank you for the links. I will do a search for 'bill barber' and see how I go :)

Doesn't really help - there is a report of a William BARBER, fisherman aged 72 admitted to hosptial in 1886. So born c1816.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/169161059  (3rd column, middle)

William BARBER (34, waterman) married Mary McENTEE (22) 23 Aug 1852 in Hobart. Witnesses were Patrick and Mary RILEY.

Do you have any marriage or death notices for your William BARBER that my mention siblings or other relations?

Modified to add:
I see the witnesses at the marriage of William BARBER and Elizabeth BENNETT were Henrietta DRISCOLL and Herbert SMITH. Not much help.

Thank you for your information so far.

It is possible that William Barber is the father or uncle of William Barber (Subject).

Btw, use the "report to moderator" button at the bottom of your post to ask a moderator to move the thread.  ;)
Hi,
Thank you for your reply and the link to the record.

My concern with this is that it is possible that they are the correct people, but I am not convinced without a name or any other evidence to link it. Is there anything in that document that you found that could be useful in trying to find a link?

Thank you again :)

PS I used the report to moderator button; thanks ;)

Australia Resources & Offers / William Barber - Birth Record
« on: Sunday 04 February 24 01:53 GMT (UK)  »
**Sorry I just realised I posted this in the wrong section - can this be moved please**
Good afternoon,

I am having trouble finding a birth record and proof of parents for William Barber.
This is the information I know so far:
Death: 11 June 1932, Barossa Rest Home, Main Road, New Town, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, aged 70.

Burial:13 Jun 1932 • Cornelian Bay Cemetery, New Town, Tasmania, Australia
Grave location - Area or denomination: Church of England Section: R Site number: Number 130.

Marriage: 26 Nov 1895 Esperance, Tasmania to Elizabeth Bennett (nee Watkins) - aged 32.

Issue: Tasman Frederick Barber (1896-1971).

Birth: In Tasmania.

This makes his estimated year of birth between 1862 and 1863.

There are trees, with his parents being William Barber and Mary Entree; however, I have not been able to find proof of this.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

You might want to check out

FindMyPast baptisms (transcripts only)
William Vase, bap 18 Dec 1814, Heckfield cum Mattingley, parents William and Sarah.
Under notes it states "of Mattingley".

There are no other Vase baptisms in the parish in the timeframe. However, there are 4  Vass baptisms in Heckfield cum Hattingley around this period and 1 Vast baptism in Eversley - all with parents William and Sarah,

One of the baptisms reads
George Vass, bap 7 Apr 1823, abode Heckfield cum Mattingley, parents William and Sarah. Under notes it states "of Hazeley Heath"

Looks promising

This looks very promising. I think I need to get a copy of the marriage certificate and hopefully it will have at least his fathers name on it.

My question was unnecessary since your earlier post said you had him in '41!!

Trying to find out what happened to the William born 1810.

No Stress :)

I have had another day of searching and am still at a loss - I think the marriage certificate suggestion is the way to go.

Hi Kezza
Unfortunately I have no further information on Duncan Vass birth
Do you know if he had a second wife - Isabella Bowman?
It seems to me that he did and Isabella died in Prescott  Lancs where Duncan's son and family lived.

Irene

Hi Irene,

I have come across this too. My gut tells me that this is correct but I am still not 100% convinced. If I do find anything that helps us I will let you know :)
