Alexander Barnett was born in Templepatrick, Ireland in 1822 to John and Grace Barnett. He was a gardener.
Elizabeth Redmond was born in Templepatrick. Her father’s name was Robert, but no other details are available to me at present.
Alexander and Elizabeth had seven children:
Grace 1841–1934, married William Nesbitt, a blacksmith and had 13 children
James 1850–?, no more known.
Mary 1852–1936, lost a hand in a factory accident and never married.
John 1856–1877, dies aged 21.
Sarah 1860-1941, never married. Emigrated to Australia with the Stewart family in 1913 and died in Brisbane.
Elizabeth Jane 1866–1951, married William Stewart of Edinburgh and had four children. After living in Scotland for a number of years, the family emigrated to Australia in 1913.
No more information is available, but I assume that Alexander and Elizabeth lived their lives and died in the villiage of Templepatrick. Eliza Jane’s childern write of spending their holidays in Templepatrick and the descendants of Grace were still living in the area in the 1960s.
