Hi Linda, are you sure that Conyens W Barrett is a real name? (You can use the Edit function to fix any typos - also wondering about "Sarah Susan barrrs" ...)

When you search trees, be sure not to include middle initials, just in case you were doing that. And allow some leeway on birth dates, +/- 5 years maybe, particularly because some people take birth dates from censuses that are inaccurate.

Ah okay, for our info, familysearch shows in 1881 census

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q279-F8JV

Conyens W Barrett born 1834 St Pancras
spouse: Mary A Barrett
children: Walter H R Barrett, George A G Barrett, Fanny E L Barrett, Ada A Barrett

and Ancestry has the same transcription

but Conyens is really not a name ... I would suspect Conyers maybe.

BARRETT, WALTER HENRY ROBERT mother: MALKIN
GRO Reference: 1860 M Quarter in ISLINGTON Volume 01B Page 208

Marriages Sep 1854
Barrett Couzens William Islington 1b 279

someone has this odd entry in their tree:

Couzens Barretteng 1833 London England


https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JQB4-CC3

Name Couzens William Barrett
Gender Male
Christening Date 08 Sep 1833
Christening Place OLD CHURCH,SAINT PANCRAS,LONDON,ENGLAND
Birth Date 16 Aug 1833
Father's Name William Barrett
Mother's Name Fanny

Tree has death in 1895, age 61, so possibly this?

Deaths March quarter 1895
Barrett William Cousins 62 Islington 1b 215

is there any way I can contact this person to see if they are family to the tree

thank you there is so much I still don't understand how and what to do thank you again

Linda, do the tree search and find that "Couzens Barretteng" tree entry, then click on "Find out more" next to the tree owner's name, to send a message.

Just search for Barretteng surname to find it, and you'll see the same person also has in their tree:

Mary Barretteng 1857 Highgate London England

It looks like the spelling error was made for the father and then it continued on down the tree.

to make it easy - just go here:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/tree/results/barretteng?memberkey=0&yearofbirthrange=1

When you click on the tree owner's name, you'll see the name actually shows in the tree as

Couzens BarrettENG

... and she has several dozen people in her tree with her own surname and that ENG suffix ... maybe thinking this would prevent them from being searchable ...

In fact, if you search for 'Smith', the results will be in reverse chronological order for all surnames that start with Smith that meet the other search criteria (John Smithy, John Smithson, John Smithman, etc) which is ordinarily extremely annoying, but was serendipitous in this case.
