CHARLES BARNETT born 1805-1818 DECK OF APOLLO FRIGATE (at sea?) Married 1850 in Norbiton, Surrey. 1861 living in Croydon, Surrey. Lose him after that, although his wife died a widow in Croydon in 1881. No sign of a death certificate for Charles. His father, evidently, was JAMES BARNETT - he whose poor partner gave birth on deck! Any takers? Alison in West Sussex, England

Hi everyone, My Barnetts are from Scotland: John BARNETT (Seaman) married Jane SMITH (year?) Children that I know of: John Sherriss BARNETT - c.1835 Aberdeen - sailed to Victoria, Australia William BARNETT - c.1842 Dundee - sailed to Victoria, Australia Sherriss seems to be a family name. It has been passed down through the generations in Australia. The BARNETT brothers married two HISLOP sisters in Victoria, Australia. The HISLOP sisters were from Glasgow & Perth, Scotland. John Sherriss BARNETT married Janet HISLOP (c.1837 Glasgow) in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 1860. William BARNETT married Mary HISLOP (c.1840 Perth) in Melbourne, Victoria Australia 1863. Would love to hear from anyone researching the same families. Kind regards, Sherrie Blackman. Sydney, Australia.

Dear Sherrie, Not sure if this will help but when I was researching my Canadian Barnetts I came across a couple of Barnett families whose ancestors came from Scotland. They were living around the Ingersoll area of Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. What I did was to send a letter to all the Barnetts in this area of Ontario. I got their addresses from http://canada411.sympatico.ca/ which is the online telephone book for Canada. Two of the replies I received were from Scottish Barnett descendants. Unfortunately as I did not have any connection with this branch of the Barnett clan, so I didn't hold on to the correspondence. If you are interested in following up what I did all you need to do is insert the name Barnett, city of Ingersoll and the Province of Ontario in the 411 webpage. This will bring up the telephone number and address of any Barnetts in this town. Repeat this procedure with adjacent towns. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/7990/Oxford_County_queries.html This site will give you a list of towns in Oxford County. It could be that one set of your ancestors headed for Australia and another to Canada. Good luck and I hope this helps?
