LATER ADDITION [Noted another Mary (Brown) was born in 1804 & died on 1 7 1829 age about25-no parents given] [& a Mary (Brown born 1804) married John Richard (Barrett) on 7 12 1821 at St Marys RC Sydney-this Website shows dates for permission & wedding on 8 12 1821 & 7 1 1822. She is recorded in 1828 with her family at Amprior St Vincents. She died in 1880 age76 at Wagga Wagga from a fall off a windmill-or could this be her husband.] .. CCONVICTdone [John Richard (Barrett) was born about 1794 in Cork city Cork Ireland & became a sawyer carpenter. He was tried at Cork city in 1817, sentenced to Life & arrived in NSW as a convict on 1 4 1818 after a voyage of 5.5months on GUILDFORD; he was Protestant. In 1823 he was moved from Emu Plains to Sydney. He is recorded in 1828 with his family as sawyer for William (Ryrie) at Amprior St Vincents. He received his Ticket of exemption from Government Service no.31/131. He died in 1836 age42 maybe from a fall from a windmill.] [Some details taken from this Website] [Mary (Brown) & John Richard (Barrett) produced at least 2children: [1.John (Barrett) was born on 15 4 1825. He is recorded in 1828 with his parents at Amprior St Vincents.] [2.Elizabeth/Eliza (Barrett) was born on 8 9 1827. She is recorded in 1828 with her parents at Amprior St Vincents.] .. [So now we have doubts about which Mary (Brown) was involved with Thomas (Griffiths) & William (Waterford)! particularly as the entry for William (Waterford) on this Website gives a different father for Mary Ann (Brown)-who is shown as born in 1807 & dying young in Smees records.]
