BoeM on Family Tree Circles

I am looking for information regarding My 3rd Great grandfather John Keith's Parents.

John Keith
was born in 1816 to William Keith (Sailor) and Mother Elizabeth (Betsy) Miller in Thurso, Caithness, Scotland.

John came to Australia with his wife, Margaret Beattie sometime before 1951 and had one son named Joseph. They had another son who was born and died in Scotland named William Keith.

I have been unable to find any information regarding William Keith and Betsy Miller's Parents, and was hoping that someone might know of a connection on there tree.

William Keith m Betsy Miller on 19 OCT 1815 in Thurso, Caithness, Scotland.

My Grandma's brother was Theodore Joseph Keith, he was married to an Doreen Edith Biddle. They had one son who died in 1966 (I believe in a car accident).

My Grnadma lost contact with her brother some years ago. We know that they have both past on via newspapers, but I would love to get in contact with a relative, most likely from Doreen Family.

I am looking for information regarding Henry Barnes who born in 1861 Sandhurst to Henry Barnes and Catherine Barber.

He married Ellen Mchardy (b. 1866- d.1890) in 1883. They had four children, three who i have records for a fourht which is listed on Ellen Mchardy death certificate but i have not been able to located.

They were

Catherine Barnes
b. 1883
d.1936
M.1901 Wilhemine Knighton Sparkes

Henry Barnes
b.1885
d.1950

Charles Barnes
b. 1888
d.

William Henry Barnes (aka Bill)
b.1890
d.1951

I have been trying to find out what happened to Henry Barnes post 1890 after his wife died. I have not been able to located a death record.

Futher hints, on Catherine marriage to Wilhemine Knighton Sparkes, it states with written permission of gardian of the bride, Isabella Clark (appointed by father). I wonder if this means, that Henry has also pasted by this time, or if he has left the area.

Any information regarding Henry Barnes or his family will be greatly apperciated.
