Hello Linda
I have been investigating my family tree by the name of Ireland who came from Painswick and Bisley. My great grandfather, William Ireland, was born in 1842 and in 1866 was married to Elisabeth Barrett of Minety who was born in 1842 according to family records. I have been to the Family Record Centre in London and have been unable to obtain a record of her birth. Perhaps it might be in Parish Records.
On seeing your entry on the internet regarding your great grandfather, William Barrett, who you said was born in 1818, I was wondering whether there might be some connection between our families.As Minety must have been a small village and your great grandfather being born in 1818 it seems quite feasible that he may have been the father of my great grandmother, Elisabeth Barrett.You did say that you may have further information regarding the Barrett family in Minety.
If you think our families are connected I look forward very much to hearing from you as I am trying to set up a family tree between the Irelands and Barretts.
Awaiting in anticipation of your reply.
Regards
Reg Ireland
