James William Barnett (1867-1941) and Elizabeth nee Young (1872-1946)

About this image

DescriptionMy family have plenty of history in Grey and Buller from the 1880s onward. This is my Great Grandparents James William Barnett (1867-1941) and Elizabeth nee Young (1872-1946).
James came to New Zealand from Edinburgh to work on the Nokomai Goldfields before making his way to Westport. Elizabeth's family came from Durham to mine coal. Elizabeth married John Teward in Grey, five years into the marriage with three children, he was killed in the Brunner Disaster.

This week I discovered another part of the Barnett family came from Scotland to Westport and became the large Barton family. Everyone was a few doors from each other in Peel Street. Are there any Bartons in the group or anyone who knows of this family? I notice there's a couple of school photos with a G. Barton from the 1950s on Recollect.Map^[1]ContributorDarian Zam
