Hi Nick So far in my research I have not found a Scottish connection. I wish I would because my grandmother always told me she was a mutt: Scotch, Irish and English. I've not found the Irish either but then it may be on her mother's side. My BARR's are: Thomas BARR bapt Solihull, Warw. 1755 his son: John BARR bapt Holy Trinity, Coventry, Warw 1778 John married Elizabeth FAIRFIELD (from Solihull) 1812 They had ten children" John bap 1813 Thomas bap 1814 Juliett bap 1816 Edward Ellice bap 1818 (he was named after the Coventry M.P. at the time) Eliza bap 1821 Julia bap 1823 Henry bap 1823 (my grt grt grandfather. He eventually moved to West Bromwich, Staffordshire and on to St Helen's Lancashire. His son was the American connection and moved his family here in 1911) William bap 1824 Richard 1827 There were two deaths between William and Richard. This John BARR (born in Coventry 1778 had four children from his first wife: James bap 1797 Elizabeth bap 1799 Mary Benbridge bap 1809 John (Jr) bap 1808 Couldn't keep the little bugger in his pants, I guess! From what I could find, 10 out of 14 children grew to adulthood. Let me know if there is a connection.
