Barretts and Hardings lived in George Street, Palmerston North, William George Barrett went to Feilding.
The local newspaper, Manawatu Standard, did an article on Barrett January 2007, not much truth in it, mentioned that he was probably putting up shingles, the lost years, not much truth in it. :(
Wonder where they get their information.
I get mine from the library.

William H BARRETT was my great great grandfather.
Also with them on board SS Tainui with William Henry BARRETTand his wife and the four  children was his daughter Minnie and her husband and their baby son.
It appears that their eldest child William George BARRETT was in NZ when they arrived, and working in the Feilding/Palmerston North area.  I do not know when he arrived but I hold a copy of his death certificate naming his parents as William Henry and Ellen.  He was married and is buried in Karori Cemetery, Wellington.   :)

Hi all,
         I'm looking for a William George Barrett d1931.

He was married to Amelia Josephine Barrett d1928

They lived in Blenheim at one stage and had William Henry Barrett b1885. He married Florence Coleman in 1912.

Before the wedding, they experienced a house fire in Blenheim, losing everything.

Anyone have any insights?
