BARNARD Family Wangaratta

[kerrobashie]

Hey Dazza, James also had a brother named alfred, born either before or after arthur. Have you noticed how arthur and alfred's names seem strange as compared to the rest which were common Barnard names. Because they were named by the parish priest! This is all documented in the Barnard family bible flyleaf, which l may still have a copy of. Alfred's g.grandson definately does. Google Alfred, and you will be surprised what you will find. He toured and documented all of the Whiskey Distilleries in England and Scotland. You can still buy his books today, and original versions are worth a small fortune. P.S. I also have a photo of the house James lived and died in. It is still standing today!! Rob

Gday Rob,

To my understanding Fred had 8 children and none of them are interested in finding out about our family history.
I am Kevins son, one of 8 children aand am very interested in putting together, as best i can, our family history.
I did know about Alfred's touring but did not realise that we were related to him, I have him down as James's sibling.
I will email you and try to catch up with you if possible.
I also reside in Melbourne.
Kind regards, Darryl Barnard.

Hello patbern 

Are you a barnard

Hi Dazza71

I sent a reply the other day, not sure if you got to read it, this was my first attempt and tried to do it quickly without reading all the processes and believe I had the subject line incorrect.

Anyhow I'm another cousin of your father Kevin and if you require any further details of your grandfather Fred and his brothers & sister I may be able to assist. My father is the last remaining of Fred's siblings.

I did get a PM from lizanne77 so may be you were able to see my response, which by the way lizanne77 indicated needed a few corrections but overall should help you build up a picture.

It was great to receive your response and I agree with your sentiments. From your comments you know who I am and yes I did live in the eastern suburbs but moved further east a couple years ago. Unfortunately I'm not as intuitive and cannot work out which cousin you are or who are your parents. I'm guessing Ken & Eileen due the weight of numbers. The last time I met with any cousins was at Catherine's funeral in 1984 I believe.

I'm keen to send you a PM with contact details and currently working through this process (I believe you must submit 3 posts before you can send a PM so I've got one more to go. I'll be good to access to your family knowledge which by your posts is extensive.

Regards

Hey steve, James Barnard came to Australia in 1851 at the age of 18. he was the only one from his family to come to Australia. he had many children that both you and i are descended from.

Hi Darryl,

I now reside back in the bendigo area, in Heathcote, funny story how that all happened...

It's quite exciting to be finding people that we are related to.
