John Joseph Barry
« on: Monday 13 June 11 02:22 BST (UK) »
John Joseph Barry Born in Hawera Died aged 84. He ran race horses in the newplymouth area, Bell Block I think. He won the manawatu cup or something like that several times first in 1965 then 1966 and 1977. My grand father Finbar Barry and his Father Stephen John Barry. Any one please point me in the right direction I would be most gratfull. The information on John Joseph is all I have from  new plymouth paper I think, cut out that is almost falling a part and read to me over the phone.

Hi Tamrock
If you are looking to build up a picture of the family, then things like electoral rolls can also be useful
eg
Source   1911 Electoral Roll
Electorate   Wanganui
Surname   BARRY Given Names   Stephen John
Place of Residence   42 Keith Street
Occupation   railway guard
This is from an NZSG CD, there are also rolls and directories at places like ancestry online (the directories are free to browse)

Bye
Althea
