What age do you think Grove would be in the photo?

Bearing in mind how close Wolseley is to the Victorian  border he may be traceable in that State.

Looking for a BARRETT family in the area...nothing close to Wolseley but -

Australian Electoral Roll
1909  South Australia

BARRETT Esther Emily  Naracoorte   Storekeeper
BARRETT George   Frances     Grazier

Hi

Im wondering if I may be part of your family tree somewhere along the line.

My grandfather was Lindsay Alfred Forster who was married to Edna Esther Warman. When doing a search for any records on my grandmother I was directed to the Barrett Family Tree and specifically to your message.

Edna Esther lived with her parents in Wolsley in South Australia before she married.

Hi  :)

Welcome to rootschat.  Unfortunately granatz has not been online since placing her request on 1 Dec.

Perhaps if you would like give us a little more information I could have a search for you.

Cheers

Perhaps it would be better to start a new topic as the original request was made by granatz....and it will also give other chatters the opportunity to help.

Cheers

I  had a browse of  the electoral rolls  and not one Grove (first name) showed up in any state,  there were a number of people with the middle name of Grove, more than likely from a mothers surname as  the middle name etc

Hello
Sorry - I have been off air for a little while .
Back again for a minute !
 :)

Still can't find much on Grove Barrett - thinking it maybe a middle name ? or nickname ....

Cando - he looks about 10-12 years old in the photo , the children are all ages - small community school !  I do have some rellies in Wolseley . Will keep looking ?

Forster - sorry I didn't reply sooner , yes the Barrett's married into the Forster/Foster's not so long ago and I do have a little info on Edna B:1910 married Lindsay Alfred Forster Married 26 July 1930 in Norwood, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia at Methodist Manse.
His death was in Feb 1992 - no detail of any children though.

my ancestry tree is 'Barrett Bourne Family Tree' if you wanted to have a look around.

hope this helps !! 

Cando - Jenn
