Title: BRICK WALL - Samuel Barrett
Post by: shally on Saturday 07 October 17 05:42 BST (UK)
I've done a query on my Australian Barrett family before - William Price Barrett and his family but I've come up against a brick wall in getting beyond his father Samuel Barrett in England. I can't find Samuel Barrett's birth place and parents. I know he was married on 16 Feb 1818 to Elizabeth Price, Aston Juxta, Birmingham, Warwick, England. They were living in Bridgnorth, Shropshire when they had their children. I've found a copy of their marriage but their parents names were not on it. Hoping on some advice on where to go from here.

While their marriage cert does not give the parents names it does give the witnesses.
May not be of any help but frequently witnesses are relatives;
