----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is David Barron and I live near Brisbane in Queensland, Australia with my 
wife and three children. 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.


DOWNEY / DOONA

My wife's father's side of the family. Someone has contacted me regarding this family 
and I have photos of Mick in the cane fields in Mackay, Qld and the family home in 
Ireland aswell as other information about this family. I am still sifting through it 
at the moment.

 

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.
