The census information for Alexander and James came from my Aunt, she sent me the clip. Here's the whole thing:

Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability
James BARRON Head M Male 57 Scotland Ship Carpenter
Mary BARRON Wife M Female 51 Scotland Ship Carpenter Wife
Alex BARRON Brother W Male 60 Scotland Ship Carpenter

Source Information:
Dwelling 42 Charles St
Census Place Hedworth Monkton & Jarrow, Durham, England
Family History Library Film 1342210
Public Records Office Reference RG11
Piece / Folio 5022 / 70
Page Number 33

Thank you sooo much for the information about Alex and Jeanette's marriage! And Elizabeth and John's. I think I might be able to get somewhere with a William Barron, who had at least three children: Alexander, James, and Elizabeth. However did you find that? Like I said, I'm new at this research, and I've been relying on my Google search engine, family members, and websites like this one that have been very useful, but I don't think I would be able to find that anywhere!

Also, the thing about Ellen/Nell. She's the right age to be Nell. I have no idea why she would be listed as a son, or have the occupation of coachbuilder, though. That does rather speak to it being someone else. Maybe it was William, i just don't know.  ???

Hi Monica, thanks for your help!

Here is some new information I just got from my Aunt. Apparently, George and Alex were staying with their father's sister and her husband (that would be John Kynoch and Elizabeth Barron) while their father was staying with his brother, James Barron, and sister-in-law, Mary. There is no record of Jeanette Barron, the boys' mother, so we think she may have passed away and the boys were sent to live with their Aunt. This must be the case, since in the 1881 Census, there's a little 'W' by Alexander's marriage status, which must mean widower. Alexander was a ship carpenter in Scotland, so he probably spent a lot of time at the docks and away from home, so it would make sense for his boys to stay with relatives for a while. I don't think they were big on the idea of single-dads at the time.

1881 Census (This would Alex and George's father, Alexander)

James BARRON  Head  M  Male  57  Scotland Ship Carpenter
Mary BARRON  Wife  M  Female  51  Scotland Ship Carpenter Wife
Alexander BARRON  Brother  W  Male  60 Scotland Ship Carpenter

Also, my Aunt sent me the IGI records for the Kynoch's children:

ELLEN KYNOCH - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 06 JUL 1858 Springburn, Lanark, Scotland

WILLIAM KYNOCH - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 17 MAR 1856 Springburn, Lanark, Scotland

DAVID KYNOCH - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 07 MAY 1860 Springburn, Lanark, Scotland

MARY KYNOCH - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 19 AUG 1838 Old Machar, Aberdeen, Scotland

ELIZABETH KYNOCH - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 08 NOV 1842 Old Machar, Aberdeen, Scotland

As you can see, there is no Nell, but there is an Ellen. Why she would go by Nell, I have no idea. Maybe it was a mistake? Anyway this is all new-to-me information, hot off the presses. I'm hoping that with this new information of Alexander's siblings, Elizabeth and James, I can track down some info about their parents, which would give me a whole new generation to fiddle around with!

Thank you again for your help!!

Hello all!
I have found this post so interesting! I know it's been a while since anyone has posted but I thought it was worth asking if anyone has any information on generations earlier then Alexander Mitchell Barron? He was my G-Grandad, and I'm trying to follow the Barron line back as far as I can. I have a little (not much) information about his parents, Alexander and Jeanette Barron. This is all I have

Alexander Barron b. 1821, Scotland
m. Jeanette Schrier (though I have records that show her name as Harriet Janet/Jeanette Schrier... ???) 16 Jan 1865 in St. George, East Middlesex, Eng.
2 Children: Alexander Mitchell Barron (b. 1871) and George Barron (b. 1866)

I hope this information is correct. If anyone has anything else about him or any earlier generations, I would really appreciate it. I'm kind of new at this and I'm just getting my feet wet, so any information or tips/pointers about research would be much appreciated!

Happy hunting!

Whitney Barron
