Barron Family from the London Docklands, Williamstown Melbourne, to New Zealand

All contact with English relatives have been lost over the last 100+ years. Hopefully this year will be the one when reconnections are made. To see the photos, hear the stories of where the New Zealand and Australian Barrons came from is something to look forward to!

William Barron birth certificate 1896

William and Ethel Barron nee (Robb) settled in Timaru, New Zealand around 1936. Their children included my mother Dorothy as well as Marie, Mavis and David William was born in 1896 in Williamstown, Melbourne. His father Robert was born in 1863 Poplar London and mother Annie Blewitt was born 1873 in Landridge Melbourne.
This project has made discoveries back to 1735 in various places around the Docklands of London, Norfolk, Essex and Scotland
Hopefully the discovery of distant relatives in the future will help to fill in those missing pieces.
