Currently I am researching the Barron and Griffin names from Northeast Placentia and Dunville Newfoundland. Michael Barron born about 1850 and married to Bridget Griffin about 1880.
Michael's father was William Barron married to Sarah Reilly. I have a lot of Barron names but it is difficult to piece this puzzle together. Michael Barron died in Dunville, Newfoundland in 1931. I searched far and wide in that area and I have yet to find his grave. I am starting to believe that he may have been buried in Argentia and was moved when the US Naval Base was built in 1944.
