thank you both for your help. I did answer you but my message didnt get onto the board. I posted it as a response.I think I need computer lessons. This time I am sending it as a new message.
John Garrett and his family lived at Ballacottier, which I am told is in Andreas. Johns father and brothers William and Daniel are buried at Lezayre. In Lezayre burial reg their residence is given as Ballacottier.
I did check Lezayre parish records awhile back and found The marriage for John Garrett and Catherine Tear/Radcliffe Aug 1st" 1756.
I also managed to get the will of Catherine Garrett d1813.In it she names her daughter Christian, Mary, Easter ? or Esther, Eleanor.
Sons John and James plus 4 grandchildren.
None of the wills I have read so far mentions
other family members. So I need to keep an open mind.
