She was Mary SIMPSON and she came to Australia with the rest of the family. My husband is descended from Mary SIMPSON/BARR and her husband August/William POOLEY. August was from Prussia so his surname is the anglicised version. I'm not really sure was it really was. I have a copy of the immigration entry for the BARR family arrival. I think Mary and Hannah SIMPSON's christening entries are on the IGI so we have Hannah's parents names. Is there anything I can help with? I have some info on the POOLEY descendants. I don't have much on the BARR/JUDGE marriage and I don't think I have anything much on the BARR/GENGE or BARR/HOPGOOD marriages.
