Little Robyn	Origins: Barbara Allen (246* d)	RE: Origins: Barbara Allen	26 Apr 15
Slightly off topic, my 3xGreatgrandmother was named Barbara Ellen Colson. She was born in 1810, in Woolwich, Kent. She married Thomas Slucock and their 1st daughter was named Barbara Ellen also, born in 1834, also in Kent, in Chatham. She married Richard Williams and they emigrated to New Zealand in 1860. I'm guessing/hoping that Barbara Ellen's parents were familiar with the song in the early 19th C, hence their choice of the name. It wasn't a family name - before that there were mainly Elizabeths, with Janes, Eleanor, Ann, a Rachael and a Mary. But I don't think our Barbara Ellen was hardhearted. Robyn (nee Williams)
