Alyson, welcome to rootschat.
Have you thought of googling to find the name of the nearest public library to where the farmis/was and emailing them to ask if they can tell you about it? They may have a Local Studies section that specialises in such things.
the other option is that if the farm is in a tiny community why not write to the Postmaster and ask if the farm still exists etc?
I have followed both these approaches and had help.

Alyson, Another idea... ask in a separate post if anyone can look up a recent electoral roll for that district to see who livesat that place. the rolls are arranged by address not surname which suits you... never suits me. ! Put as the subject something like Electoral roll lookup in XXXX
Try it.. try everthing is my rule and eventually something gives and t\you nudge forward..

Alyson, that is great news... and maybe you'll find a distant family member or someone interested and knowledgeable about what you want to know.
Well don,

Alyson, That's great news... a few yrs back a distant cousin & I found each other on the net and we are now very good friends indeed.
So I hope it is all you expect... get back to us with a progress report please.
