Hi Mark,
I am of the Canadian branch of Merryweathers, from Horatio Merryweather/Dr James Merryweather/Frank Merryweather line who came to Canada in the early 1900's.
I think I know the Aussie connection, Sue? Shes from Frank Merryweathers younger brother, Roy. Those kids ventured all around the world!
I've been confirming and expanding on the Merryweather info that has come from Sue and I think, you, on the Merryweather website. The American branch, especially the one who went to New Orleans, is really interesting! If you like, we can email directly,
I'm leahmerryw@hotmail.com
Thank you for contacting, I would love to hear more about your work, and about the Barrets as well.
Leah
