Renfrewshire / Re: Barr Family
« on: Monday 09 March 09 08:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi Ann
Thank you so much for replying- I never thought I would find any Barr relatives out there as the other side of the family seemed to have died off in Paisley and I wasn't aware of the existence of Helen. Iagree that there should be more children, at least a son John to go with the naming pattern.
Rebecca married James Barr in June 1803. They had 6 children, including my ggg grandfather James who emigrated to Australia in 1849. He had a brother John who emigrated to New Zealand and became somwhat famous there as a poet who wrote in the style of Robert Burns. My father has a book of his poems. The other children, sons William and Hugh, and daughters Mary and Sarah Rebecca remained in Scotland. Mary married the Rev. John Symington but had no children. sarah married James Jamieson Lamb.
Rebecca died 11 June 1839 in Paisley.
I would appreciate any info that you are willing to send.
