Dear Joanna
My Great grandmother was Sarah Jane Barrett from Overton in Wiltshire. Her father was Amos Barrett who was born 30 april 1837 in Overton his parents were william and Elizabeth. They lived in a cottage called Down Barn which still stands at Overton just off of the Ridgeway path on Fyfield down. It has neolithic standing stones in the garden. From what I understand the family had lived in the area for generations.
Sarah Jane married william Hancock and lived in Chippenham, my Grandfather was called Francis Barrett Hancock.
If you want any more info I would be happy to help.
Best Wishes Ruth
