Hi Sandra
Thank you so much for your PM and all that you have done for me.  I am sitting at the moment piecing it all together.  I did have some information from the family search site but the newspaper clippings are of particular interest.

This particular side of my family had been dormant for a while. Then I found a John McPherson Barron, same name as my grandfather, on family search. It took me a while to confirm that I was following the correct family.

I will get back to you later today. Thanks again.
Betty

Hi Sandra

I think I have got my head around all the information you sent. The bit that initially confused me was the marriage of William Alexander in 1959. I had perhaps thought that his wife was Bette Garcia the name on his Naturalisation papers but is actually Betty Arnold. It looks like it was a rather grand wedding. I did find a William Alexander Barron aged 94 living in Walnut Creek. Names matched names on John's obituary.
I did find what I think was the death of Madeline, wife of John. If you have access to newspapers the obituary indicates it is from the East Bay Times 20th January 2013. It mentions Robert and David. Also grandchildren.
I need to rest my brain now.

Not entirely completed but I will mark completed to save duplication.

Thanks for your time

Was there something else we can help with ? Best to keep all the info on one thread if possible.
