William Barrett
« on: Monday 30 May 22 14:56 BST (UK) »
Looking for the burial of William Barrett who was born in Hungerford in 1825 and died between March 1862 and March 1871. His wife turns up in Welford as a widow according to the 1871 census. Any info gratefully accepted. His occupation according to the 1861 census was that of gamekeeper. His last know address was Bere House, Bere Court, Pangbourne. His 9 year old daughter died there on the 24th March 1862

You would need to find his death registration to confirm what year he died and in what location.
I can't immediately see one for that time period with the correct age.

Do you know where his daughter was buried - or later on his wife - in case they are together?

There is always a possibility that they simply parted ways and she called herself a widow so worth looking for him in 1871 just in case.

1851 - Elizabeth is 32 b Welford
1861  - Elizabeth is 40 b Welford & son William is aged 4 b Pangbourne
1871- Elizabeth is Eliza aged 57 b Welford & William is also shown as b Welford

No obvious death in Berkshire but a longshot - as he was a gamekeeper there is the possibility he may have accompanied his employer somewhere out of town
