Hi Listers, Gwen was correct when she said that Arthur Richard Jarrett's family probably was not relevant to my research. The Jarrett family whose history may contain a clue to solving my BERRY riddle is, I believe, the family of George Jarrett. To the best of my knowledge, the facts are as follows. George Jarrett arrived in Australia on 27th November, 1833 in the ship "Lady Nugent". He was accompanied by his wife, (Betsy) Elizabeth (nee Larkin), his step daughter Rebecca Larkin, and children, Maria, William and Ester. The family settled in the Erina area. In 1846, Ester married a Daniel Berry. The marriage did not last, with Ester leaving after a short number of years and marrying an Edward Taylor after Daniel's death in 1876. Daniel had a brother, John, who is at present, the most likely father of my Grand father, John Berry, born at Brisbane Waters in 1849. Even though it is clutching at straws, I am hoping that there just maybe some record in the Jarrett history linking John Berry to Jane Berry ?/Jane Fletcher? At the very least, I need to eliminate the possibility. Also, the Jarretts were, I believe, strongly connected to the timber industry. My grand father, John Berry, and his father, the John Berry in question, were both Sawyers and were, I believe, involved in mill management/ownership ?. I am interested in discovering if the activities of the Berrys and Jarretts were combined at any time, particularly in the Glen Innes and South East Queensland regions. If anyone has any information, which will either have a positive result to my search or get this particular monkey off my back, I will be greatly appreciative of their help.
