Hi Barkrelsatthepoint,
Sounds like you've been at this for a while.
There are a few Willis Allatsons, which can make it confusing. I think Barker Joseph had a brother Willis Allatson, then he had a son Willis Allatson (b1860 Gosford) to whom we are related, then he had a son Willis Allatson (b1883 Glebe) to his 1st wife Emily Knipe (m1880 Sydney).
There is also a death notice for Willis (b1883) NSWbdm 1891 aged 8yrs 8mths.
We are related through Willis's (1860) 2nd wife Angela Rubie (m1891).
We knew he had been married to Emily Knipe but didn't know of any children.
I recently found 4 children born to Willis and Emily , through NSWbmd.
I also believe that this Emily Knipe died in NSWbmd as Emily Baddeley in 1950 (parents names seem to match.)
Willis and Angela had 5 children; Gabrielle (b1886), Jack (b1887, our relative), Dorothy (b1892), Muriel (b1897), and Reginald (b1899).
You mention a wife also Emily Knipe, who died in Yorkshire. Is this coincidence?
So excited to start looking up some of the things that you mention. Getting started straight away.
Through these kind RootsChat members, I have a 24/12/1837 newspaper account of Barker Joseph and copies of the wills of his parents Thomas and Sarah. Can pass these on when you PM me your email, if you haven't already got them.
Thanks heaps for the info,
Carna
