Barrett Family of PEI Canada

[MAINEYUSA]

I am at a real dead end with my Barrett family.  I am looking for information on Isaac Barrett, born 1798 place unknown.  The only other info I have on him is when he married 23 Oct 1828 in Wheatley River, Queens, PEI, Canada, and his death 22 Aug 1830 which just says PEI Canada.  Isaac married Ann Margaret Heartz b.4 Aug 1808, North River, Queens, PEI, Canada.  She married Patrick Duffy after the death of her husband.  The Island Register has a wonderfully detailed history for Margaret.  There is also a nicely detailed history of a Barrett family, which I believe has to be related to mine, but I can't find enough information to prove it.  Isaac and Margaret had two children in the short time they were married.  Both children born Lot 32, Queens, PEI, Canada.  I would be greatful for any help in solving just who this Isaac Barret is.

Thank You in advance

Hi,

The Familysearch site has a database called the Prince Edward Island Death Card Index.  Your Isaac is here - image number 647 of 994 in the Abbot - Blanchard alphabetical block.  It says that Isaac was 32 when he died, he was from North River.  The source of this record is the St. Paul's Anglican Church in Charlottetown.  I expect that this is where he is buried.

You can browse through the other Barrett listings too.  There is a Charles Barrett in the same cemetery who died in 1828 at age 71.

Hi again,

Familysearch also has a PEI Baptism Card Index.  Benjamin William Barrett was born 16 April 1829 at Lot 32, and baptised 12 April 1830 at St Paul's Church, Charlottetown.   His parents were Isaac Barrett and Ann Margaret Heartz.    The image is number 4161 of 5521 in the Abbott - Bernard alphabetical block. 

There is also a child named Ann Elizabeth, born 1 Sept 1830 and baptised 2 Oct 1830.  Image number 4159.

PS - there is also a marriage card index covering 1832-1888.

Thankyou, I didn't know that.  Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I was away on holiday.  I will be home on Monday and will check this out.  The Ann Elizabeth is my ggg-grandmother.

Ok, so I am back on the Barrett Trail.  I found all the birth and baptism records and many marriage records on the Public Archives and Records website.  I am still however looking for the birth and parents of Isaac Barrett.  He was born approximately 1798 possibly in Talland, Cornwall, England.  That is all I have on him except his marriage and children.  Were there records kept of immigrations that early to PEI?  He would have come there between 1798 and 1828 where he marries in Wheatley River, Queens, PEI.

Thanks again.

Oh, dear, find-a-grave has him listed as a "Lawyer" rather than a "Sawyer"
mainyusa some of the Barrets were also thought to be Irish.....Even if you had him on census, unfortunately they only appear to have available 1841, they didn't have much info other than locale and possesions &  no names for other than heads of households/approx ages within a huge span... The areas are numbered so I am not sure which might be in the proper district ( 20 to ?? 62 ??) http://www.gov.pe.ca/archives/census/search.php3
The Barrets in 1841 heads of household are a John lot23, Catherine, Thomas lot 37 & Lawrence Lot 37
John's household of six are all from England, has a female in the household "Upwards of 60". ( over 60) so it is very sad that one cannot know that name of an ancestor
Lawrence's houshold says all natives of the Island
Thomas's says one from Ireland
In 1798 I saw only a Lawrence on lot 37-with 3 males under 16  http://www.islandregister.com/lot37.html
a Wm on lot 26...There is an alphabetical downlad to see if there are more Barrets on the Island

I found the following for an Isaac Barrett, but to this point have not confirmed that this is my Isaac:
Pallot's Baptism Index for England: 1780 - 1837
about Isaac Barrett Name: Isaac Barrett
Baptism Date: Dec 1799
Parent 1: John Barrett
Parent 2: MaryBarrett 
Parish: Talland
County: Cornwall

I also have his death as :
SOURCE: pre-1906 Death Index St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlottetown
Name: Isaac Barrett
Age: 32
Residence: North River
Date of Death: 22 Aug 1830

I have two children listed to date.  They are Ann Elizabeth born 1 Sep 1830 Lot 32, and Benjamin William b. 16 Apr 1829 also Lot 32.  Isaac died a month before his daughter Ann was born.  His wife, Ann Margaret (Heartz) remarried Patrick Duffey 3 Dec 1835 and had several more children.  I would love to be able to prove that the birth listed on Pallot's is my Isaac.  I am just not sure how to continue with it.

I do see the six children baptised for a John and Mary (Greenaway-m.1791), Talland Cornwall...So you've surmised he was from the family of John from Enland.  How did you decide which family he may have been from? If this really was your bunch it is sad he hadn't used his middle name Greenaway http://www.rootschat.com/links/01ea5/

Have you checked to see if any of the siblings of that fellow married elsewhere?

adding:
This site appears to have Mary Greenaway Barrett married in Cornwall... however they haven't any siblings or death listed so doesn't rule them out completely http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/p/e/n/Susan-E-Penter/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0361.html
