I have made this website to aid my research into my family tree. Hopefully people tracing some of the same surnames will happen upon this site and we can share information, I am in contact with a lot of people regarding genealogy and not always from the same family so even if we are not related, I might be able to point you in the right direction – just ask (Contact Me) or use List of Last Names to search surnames.

My name is David Barron and I live in Queensland, Australia. I have three children and seven grandchildren. I am very interested in tracing my family tree and would appreciate any information, suggestions or help on family tree or websites. If I can assist you in any way with information, please contact me. 

With help from family members, we have traced a great deal of information on some branches – Archdall, Barron, Downey, Sallaway, Herron and Nicol. I am still researching and therefore always wanting more information.


 
 ---- ARCHDALL / ARCHDALE ----

My grandfather (on my mothers side) Roy Sallaway was actually an Archdall. His mothers  name was Sallaway. This side of my family is part of the peerage/royalty of the UK it  has reverends, vicars, barons, baronets, Brig.Generals any many other titles. I am  still updating this information at the moment. A great deal of this information has  come from The Peerage Website thanks to a lot of hard work by Darryl Lundy and also a  lot from the Archdale family here in Brisbane.

---- BARRON ----

JAMES & MARY

James Barron and Mary ( ? ) had William in 1843 in the Shoalhaven Area NSW,  Australia. James and Mary may have had other children (James 1842, Walter 1846 and  Emma 1851) but I have not confirmed at this stage.

Was James a convict and if so which one was he?  There were -     - James Barron convicted at - Northampton (7years) and transported on the Norfolk 27       Oct 1836
  - James Barron convicted at Warwick (14yrs) and transported on the Lord Melville 11       Jan 1830 
 Or is there more to choose from?

What about Mary? (pardon the pun) the only Permission to Marry that I know about at  this stage is for James Barron of the Norfolk and that was to Mary Foot aged 31yrs  per Planter2 -life.

WILLIAM & HANNAH

William Barron married Hannah Wooden in Shoalhaven in 1865 and lived in Burrier, NSW  and had 15 children. They were educated at Burrier school which was adjacent to their  home, where the old post office is still standing.

LOUIS MYRTLE (BERT) & ELEANOR THOMPSON

As far as I know they only had one child being Milton Lewis (Bluey) Barron born in  Nowra, NSW, Australia in 1914 and dying in Muttaburra Qld, Australia in 1969. He  married Lillian Hannah Herron in Nowra in 1936 and had  two son Maxwell Barron b.1937  Nowra-d.2002 Deception Bay, Qld and (living) Barron (my father). He separated from  Lillian and moved to Muttaburra, Qld and had three more children to second wife. His  occupation was a mechanic.

 

ANNE ELIZABETH BARRON & JOHN ALBERT HANSON

Second child of William & Hannah b 18/11/1868 in Burrier NSW. I am now in contact  with this branch of the family and hopefully some more information will become  available including some stories about Grassy Gully Gold mine, the family fued, the  naming of places in the Shoalhaven Area after our family (Hanson Hill, Mount Barron,  Barron Flats etc) and I even hear a whisper about Ned Kelly.

 

JAMES BENJAMIN (JIM) BARRON & JANE INGA MINNIKIN

Fourth child of William & Hannah b 18/2/1871 in Burrier, NSW and died 1952. After  leaving school he went to Junee to work as a stockman and eventually became head  drover. On his return to Burrier he found gold in the Grassy Gully (I am yet to find  out all the details on this or the family feud that followed). From accounts that I  have read so far, he was a great horseman and extremely active, keen on jumping,  running and boxing, as well as breaking in horses.

I am now in contact with someone from the Minnikin side who may be able to shed some  more light.

 

JOHN HENRY (JACK) BARRON

Seventh child of William & Hannah, born 2/5/1874. He lived in Nowra and Burrier till  he had problems with the law. He had to face trial on perjury so he skipped away to  North Queensland where he became a stagecoach driver of great renown. It was said he  was a well-set-up man with a fiery temper, enormous strength and great horsemanship.

Jack apparently married a full blooded aboriginal lady in St Lawrence, Qld and had 3  children -  Topsy Francis, Stanley and Percy.

He was ultimately shot at point blank range by a drink crazed man at Bowen River  Hotel.

---- OTHER SURNAMES ----

This web page and research is "works in progress" .  I think all family tree research  (and personal genealogical web sites) are always being upraded.  This is a basic idea  of some of the surnames I am researching at the moment and some of the information I  have. If you would like to see more please contact me.


NEVELL

My grandmother's mothers side are the Nevells. There is a lot of great information  about this side dating back to the 1400's including a story about Elizabeth Nevell  nee Vincent and 5 bushrangers who had held up her house at Kelso NSW.





Any assistance in tracing family any further would be greatly appreciated.
