I wonder if anyone happens to have any knowledge of the family tree
of Sir Charles Barry (1795-1860), the famous architect who designed

It seems Charles had a sister because he had a nephew called Hayward who was

College, Oxford."

Yes - I've got a book 'somewhere' on the Barry-Rowsell family. I will
have a dig for it.

I have scoured the Internet with web-search and it seems his wife was
called Sarah and he certainly had at least four sons, three of whom
were also architects and one who was a vicar. However, I need to
discover if he had any daughters as well. I am researching the
ancestry of an actress who has a family story that he was an ancestor
or relative of some kind, and she certainly had a
great-great-grandmother called Louisa Ann Barry, born at Portsmouth
about 1834, according to census returns.

The IGI turns up nothing that is particularly positive.
