Hello Sandra, you along with others in this group have gone to a lot of trouble, more than a lot, to thread together the bits and pieces I offered. The lady who brought me here asking question has died aged 95, her mother was Ellen Rose Carr the daughter of Fredrica (her spelling of her name) and she was the daughter of Leonard Barrett. Angela was so pleased the story passed down was fact so thank you all for helping me to achieve that for her. Fredrica's story to her telling of her "Uncle Joe Foster" a gambler being killed in a gunfight was true, Ida Ellen Ruttledge was Joe Fosters wife, she remained in San Antonio until her death in 1918?
1918 is when Angela's mother Ellen Rose visited the US to see family in Philadelphia with her mother Fredrica, that's when they were given several items, Joe Foster's silver ring and a silver name plate. Recently Angela's son gave me a few photo's to copy and share on Ancestry.co, he found them among his mothers things, they show Leonard Barrett's first daughter by his first wife Georgina Catherine Rutledge, the daughter was called Mariguita Georgina, but from the detail on the back of the photo it looks like she was Quita to her family. A second photo is Fredrica Jane taken on the same day 9th August 1865 at "Grooms Photograph Gallery, Philadelphia. A third photo is Fredrica's mother, Leonards second wife, Frederica Alicia Rutledge taken in 1896 in Atlantic City, the detail on the back says Alicia Rutledge so it was obviously the name she used.
I think I've achieved all I can with this family, the majority of decedents are obviously in the US, but as I found with my own family, some in the US had no idea there were other branches of the family in other states. take care Fred
