I had a copy of the 1881 census that identified 3 sons John- Oscar- and Valentine E. I have a copy of the Funeral notice for Oscar Pritchard Barrett (East Kent news in the Dover Express July 1943 ) The notice states one of the mourners was his brother Guy Barrett. I also had reference to a Guy Barrett through cousins of my Father. This led me to believe that this was a fourth son born after the 1881 census . It was finally revealed to me that Guy and Edward Valentine were the same from notice of marriage of him to Elizabeth Mary Primrose Tallis. Sorry that I may have misled persons interested in the Barrett family. I had suggested that Oscar Barrett Snr. had 4 sons.

If you look at the 1881 census you will see John (Pritchard) Barrett there. He however was only John Barrett at this stage, it says that he was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In the 1891 census he was living in Chelsea where he was an art student. If you want to know more about John the best article is his obituary in The Era from 1900, it was this that forms the basis for his entry in Frederick Boase's Dictionary of National Biography. He died in 1900 of TB and his wife remarried. He had two sons, Mike (my grandfather) and John Oscar (my great uncle) who died aged 18 in WWI. If you give me an email address, I'll send you an email with his obituary from the Era. I live in Lewisham and have managed to track down where he lived here - Forest Hill....I tracked down John's wedding certificate, which said where he was living, I then went to the local archives and found that in the postal archives that was indeed Oscar Barrett's house.

Oscar Barrett was my great grandfather and I have been working on a website about him. We have no record of John in the papers I have uncovered; I am curious to know where Ann is getting her information from. As far as our family is concerned Oscar had two sons, Oscar Pritchard and Edward Valentine. Since I am documenting information for the next generation of Barretts, I am interested to know what documented evidence you might be able to provide to back your statements.

I am very interested in John Nightingale Pritchard Barrett as I have been researching an artist who also worked at the Crystal Palace around 1900. Oscar Barrett was John's step father.

Interesting stuff on your Great Grandfather. I have an unusual interest in Oscar Barrett. My grandmother Mary Wellard was for many years Oscar's housekeeper at the house called Ivybank in St. Margarets at Cliffe near Dover.
