Dear Listers I'm still looking for Peter BARNETT, b. 1820 in Shiplake, OXF. His parents were Thomas BARNETT and Caroline BASSINGNY. Peter was one of 9 children born to Thomas and Caroline. The others were: 1. Maria b. Aug 1813, buried 14 October 1813 2. Thomas bap. 1 Apr 1815 at Shiplake, OXF. Last seen in the 1841 census at Bix, OXF 3. Caroline bap. 16 April 1816 and bur 19 Apr 1817 at Shiplake, aged 1. 4. Anne bap 16 Apr 1816, bur 19 Apr 1816, aged 4 days also at Shiplake. Twin of Caroline 5. John Frederick bap 17 Apr 1818 at Shiplake, m. Mary Jane SWALLOW 22 Jan 1843, d. 1907. no children. 6. Peter bap 16 Apr 1820 at Shiplake, m. Martha MARTIN 7 May 1843. Known children: Thomas Peter 1843 Harriet Ann 1845 Emma abt 1847 Sarah Elizabeth 1849 Jane 1851 Last known recording: 1851 census at Checkender, OXF. 7. Joseph bap 28 May 1821 at Shiplake. m. Emma BALL 5 Nov 1854. One known child: Rose Caroline b. 8 Sep 1866. Last seen in the 1881 census living at Brightwell Baldwin, OXF aged 55. 8. Emily bap 22 Dec 1823 at Rotherfield Greys, OXF, m. Arthur Edward BRADFORD in 1843. Children: Emily (1844), Arthur (1846), Helen (1852), John (1854) and Walter (1855). 9. Harriet bap 12 Jun 1825 at Rotherfield Greys, OXF. Last seen in the 1841 census living at Bix, OXF aged 17. I suspect that some members of this family migrated but don't know where. I have not found a death in England for Caroline, the matriarch of this family either. She was born around 1785 and widowed in 1852. If anyone has any information on this family or their descendants I would be delighted to hear from you. Lorraine Wuth Always searching for my Barnett relatives Holder of much data pertaining to Barnetts who wandered through Victoria, Australia.

Lorraine: If you have any living males in your family currently named Barnett that you are related to or know any, let them know we have the Barnett DNA study going. Right now most of us involved in the testing are Americans. We would welcome cousins with proven ancestry in Austrailia or on the British Isles side of the Ocean to be in the test group to see if and who we might be related to and where. Two test kits have been returned in the past few days and a couple more will be in in a couple weeks. I need to go into the website and update it to reflect what is being found out to date. Anyone interested can go to our website at http://micbarnette.bravepages.com or to the Family Tree DNA website at http://www.familiytreedna.com MIC
