Hi!
Can anyone help with the following?
I have a Joseph Farish (sometimes surname spelt many different ways - Fairish, Faris, Fariss, Fairies etc), marrying at Bridekirk Cumberland on 13 March 1794 Ann Ravel. A witness to the wedding was an Archibald Farish.
Joseph Farish was the son of a James Farish who married Jane Fawcet at Bridekirk Cumberland on 27 May 1754, and he was baptised on 21 August 1768 at Bridekirk. Joseph Farish also had the following siblings:
Mary Farish baptised 22 December 1754 Bridekirk Cumberland
Jonathan Farish baptised 7 July 1757 Bridekirk Cumberland
William Farish baptised 10 June 1759 Bridekirk Cumberland
John Farish baptised 31 January 1762 Bridekirk Cumberland
I think James Farish (father of Joseph) and Archibald Farish may have been brothers? James Farish is listed as being buried at Bridekirk Cumberland in 1789.
Archibald Farish married on 10 August 1775 at Crosscanonby Cumberland Sarah Grear and had the following children:
Robert Faris baptised 15 August 1778 Workington Cumberland (Presbyterian)
Archibald Farish baptised 9 June 1780 Workington Cumberland (Presbyterian)
Mary Farish baptised 14 April 1782 Workngton Cumberland (Presbyterian)
Sarah Farris baptised 2 July 1786 Workington Cumberland (Presbyterian)
The only records I can find for Archibald and James are in Dumfries? There is an Archbald Fairiss baptised on 8 May 1729 at Dumfries, son of John, and also a James Farries baptised 7 November 1725 at Dumfries, again son of John.
Any help with any of the above much appreciated!
