hi marie,Well I do know that the brother of my gr gr grandmother was philip barr who supposedly has sisters elizabeth(or alice),and mary and marganame!ret(madge,maggie).I havent put enough together to know what other siblings there are. I also know philip married a lady named anne and had 2 daughters elizabeth and roseanna born ireland 1862 and 1864 and both batisedat st paricks iskaheen.philip soon after moved his family to poplar middlesex england where he died in1903. sounds like there maybe a connection .i just gets so frustrated with the different spellings and short forms of names.Like looking for my gr gr grandmother who was known as elizabeth,lizzie,liza,alice,I dont if one is a real name or short form or second name!just know on one of the death certifictes for one of my gr gmake sense of itr aunts it lists her mom as alice barr.hope you maybe able to make sense of it,do u have any death or birth certificates for any of the barrs?keep in touch,susan
