Hi all,
I've just stumbled on this thread, and am particulary interested in the Barrett discussion. My 5xGr Grandfather is Thomas James Barrett. He married Elizabeth Taltan/Tolton (I don't know any DOB, DOM or DOD for these 2 people), and they had 5 children, all born in Launceston, Tasmania: Elizabeth (b.1833), Edwin (b.1835), Henry (b.1837), Emma (b.1839) and Thomas (b.1845). Elizabeth, my 4xGr Grandmother, married John Lane in 1852. I'm wondering where my family 'fit in' with the rest of the Barrett family, as there seems to be a lot of them? I noted that on Elizabeth's Birth Certificate, the last name was spelt as BARRATT, so I'm not even 100% sure that they are a part of the Barrett family (even though for the younger 4 children the last name is spelt Barrett). Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance
