Research notes

DOCUMENTED by her 1867 Victorian marriage registration (reg. 3189/1867, image in project): "Sarah Barr", spinster, domestic servant, aged 22, of Flinders Street Melbourne; born "Knockclo[v/r]an(?), Antrim, Ireland" (townland reading unclear); parents John Barr x Jane Barr, maiden name M-? (McFadden/McEaddie - cursive unclear, grade ? on both readings). An Ulster emigrant, not Australian-born. Ted's account (met Edward at Tamworth NSW) is compatible. SECOND TOWNLAND READING (son John's 1871 birth cert, reg. 11625): "Li[m/sn]abragh(?), Co. Antrim", aged 25 in May 1871 (b. ~1846) - the two certs disagree on the townland spelling; neither reading settled; her own death record would give a third witness - follow up. Added Jul 2026; upgraded on the certificates same month.

Marriage: VIC reg. 3189/1867 (Schedule C entry 186), image in project folder: "according to the usages of the Independent denomination of Christians", minister William Moss; witnesses William Tiver(?) and [S/L]eah Anne Ashby(?). Grade: documented. Obtained 16 Jul 2026.
