William James Barret
Looking for information on a Willam James Barrett, married to a Mary Jane Brannigan (one or two N's don't know)Family oral history says they were married in England, and emmigrated to Canada (Southwestern Ontario, likely Goderich area) He served in the Boer War.But we figure that he was dishonorably discharged (and we think more than once) Because despite his service, his wife was unable to claim a Military widow's pension.
One of his sons, Thomas, was born in Chicago Illinois, and one of his daughters Ursula, was born in Goderich
He had at least seven children, those are the only two i know the birth place of, however.
The seven children i know are: Ursula (1908) Christopher (1920) Harry, Thomas, Edward (Teddy), Ada, Magdeline.
I know Willam died 25 May 1928, In ontario.
If anyone has any information about this man, I'd love to hear about it, and i can fill you in on the decendants of Ursula, as she was my grandmother.
you can post here, or reply to me directly via email:

Sincerely,
