Hi,

Joe Barratt is my great Uncle. His sister was my nan Edith Barrett. [Edith married Charles Hall] Joe was a Professional British Boxer in Bantam Weight. His mum -my great grandmother - was Amelia Barratt.

Joe has nieces and nephews still alive, including my mum Mary Hall who is now 86 and they remember him well.

We have a few professional pictures of him, which I assume most of his family do [!] and have pics of some of his family. Happy to share if you let me know.

Kind regards

Jan

Hello Jan, welcome to the boards.

Seeing as it's a couple of years since Ellen posted this she possibly won't be checking for replies.

You could click on her name to send her a direct message.

Hi I have just seen this message and my great grandmother Lily Burrett was also a sister to Joe
