doesn’t touch the excitement and pleasure we experienced! William BARRETT is our 2nd great granduncle, (‘Ancestry speak!’) and a brother in law to our great great grandfather, Thomas REDDING . Our appreciation and gratitude goes to all those at www.shorehambysea.com Congratulations on gathering such a mass of information and presenting it so brilliantly. Interesting, informative and user-friendly. We have been able to ‘tie up’ so many queries from the last ten years! The ‘finds’ made by Betty were instrumental to progress! Thank you, Betty. Maybe we are still looking for a Coroner’s report . . . ? We are guessing that maybe Mary Ann met William Barrett on a visit to see her niece, Mary Ann, daughter to her brother,

Thomas, along the coast? And, we wonder - did she do this travelling by sea? Judith Sexton ( Member #13278) Frances Marshall ( Member #15493)
