Hi List, I am looking for any info on the BARRETT/BARRATT family. I have info from 1881, 1891 and 1901 census for the family, and have just broken a brick wall, hopefully, but am waiting for the certificates to arrive. In particular, I am searching for James BARRETT born circa 1860 Smetwick, Staffs. On 1881 census he was 21 and worked as an iron works labourer. I have not found him on any of the other census. Nor can I find a registration for a birth, marriage or death for him, and not for the want of trying! I would love to find something on him, even if he was a conict or in prison for something, at least I would have found him! Also I would like to find out where his sister, Rose Hannah BARRETT was in 1891. I can't find her either. I have her and her family in 1901 and living at home in 1881. She married (I think) in 1895. I have checked the 1901 and have found a possibility. It makes sense to take this particular family as most details check out. Again, I am waiting for the certs. If the family is my Rose Barrett, then I would like to find out what she was upto between 1881 and her marriage in 1895, as she has a daughter -Laura - aged 9 in 1901. The child would have been 2 years old when she married. Any info would be marvalous. Best Regards, lesley, Essex. UK
