I went to Barmouth Wales in May 2010 looking for Richard Barnett as my client and friend is his 3rd great granddaughter. Richards father William did own the hotel in Barmouth. We actually were able to see some documentation of this at the archives in Dolgellau. We have photos as the hotel looks today and as it did when William Barnett owned it. Also bills for rabbits delivered for meals.
My friends family handed down the story that Richard and his wife were killed on The Royal Charter. Although I can find no evidence to prove this.
I have a copy of William Barnett's will also many birth and death certificates, pictures and short movies of William Barnett's grave. A wonderful man from England was in the church yard when we were searching and came back and cleared a 50+ foot swath all the way to his grave. It had been covered by years and years of growth.
You have all given me information that I had not known before today. Thank you. I am very happy to share anything I have with everyone. Contact me at
