Leith Davis re Jarrett: Dear Leith, I seem to be hogging the messages, but here goes: There is a George Jarrett listed in the Gosford area, but I have nothing on him. However, like others of the Jarretts and Berrys, he features in the index to the Brisbane Water Bench Books and Court Cases (1826-1874) made in 1990 by Gosford District Local History Study Group. The original records are on microfilm at Gosford City Library, so I guess they are also at the NSW State Library etc. George is listed in some respect in 1863. A William Jarrett shows up in the State Records of NSW, Index to Certificates of Freedom 1823-1869 as having come 1817 on "Sir William Bensley". Cert of Freedom dated 10.8.1826. This would make him pretty old to be married to Esther, but not unusual? The Index is at http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/asp/cf.asp Regards, Gwen
