Barrack family from Ellon, Scotland
« on: Wednesday 09 February 11 02:36 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for anything on the history of my Barrack ancestors from  Ellon . The names William, James and Alexander  seem to come up a lot.  Our branch moved to Fiji in the mid 1850's with Alexander, who was a seafarer.
Thanks
Jeanine

Hi Billy,
I have some information,  my GG grandfather Alexander was born in Ellon in 1831 , he lived in Fiji and his son William was my great grandfather.  My mother, Ruve,  was born in Fiji and came to live in New Zealand after meeting my father who was in the RNZAF.
Regards
Jeanine

Do you know the names of Alexander's parents? If they are from the Barrack family of Shallowplough and Inverebrie, I can give you some information about them.

Hi to all,
             My grandfather Alexander Scarlet B was the older brother of William. I have a photo family tree of

all the descendants of Capt AB/Matilda through ASB but no photo of William . I have one of Maude Fenton

but no name on the back , so unsure,

Graham,
              Yes alexander B was born in Ellon 1831. His father Alexander William B born in 1802 , Foveran. His father William b born in Foveran in 1767. I can go back with certainity to William B born mill of Ardlethen 1670
married a Susannah Annand.  With less certainity back to John Barrack born ca 1580.
  If the system allows I can e-mail a 22 page of this

Hi bobbar,
The best way to exchange info would be to send a Personnel message to GR2 with your email address.
It is not recommended to post your email details as this just attracts spam and
will be removed,
