Hi Keith

It appears that there was one member of the family who went off to Australia and was never heard of again.

However I have also been advised of a member of the family who went to the USA and married a Cecily Teare from Peel. His name had been changed to Farquhar on naturalisation.  (Could be the same person or 2 generations)

(I am a novice at this - just thought that I would fill in the gaps in the bible before I pass it on a generation)

Any help would be greatfully received.

you should be easily able to trace back a few more generations - especially if they owned the farm I think wm -> peter -> peter
the name peter is unusual on the Island so wonder how it entered the family

I am tracing MARGARET ELIZABETH FARAGHER.  dob..unknown Parents..unknown.  Margaret married John Hampton of Lonan, IOM.
In your research, have you come upon her and her family?  Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.   Margaret is my GGGGrandmother.
Thanking you for any assistance in this matter.

Hi there, I am a descendant of Isabella and Edward Fargher. They were my great grandparents, Isabella was the sister of Jemima Kelly nee Telford and Richard Kelly. Richards parents were James Kelly and Ellinor (Quilliam)

Is there anyone who could find out who Edward Farghers parents were on IOM?

Henry Faragher married Catherine Chapman in belfast approx 1880.
They must have separated as 1901 and 1911 census no mention of Henry.
Is this Faragher part of your connection

Hi Liz,

I am going to split this topic to one on its own as Keith (the original poster) emails are not working.
