Robert Farrow

[Olleyke]

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to find the baptism/parents of Robert Farrer/Farrow.

He married Elizabeth Shawl in Hillington in 1815 "with parental consent". According to the 1841 census he was born about 1796. He then died in 1848

On his marriage his surname is spelt 'Farrer', and on the 1841 Census it is 'Farrow'

Hoping a fresh pair of eyes may help

Thank you

According to his burial entry he was born 1796. He was buried in Flitcham.

The closest baptism I can find is for a Robert Farret baptised 24 December 1797 in Broome, parents John and Sarah. His sister Elizabeth was baptised the same day.

The original register (image available on familysearch) has Robert's surname as FARRET, but Elizabeth's surname looks more like FARREL.  I think Emeltom has cracked it.

NFHS transcription has mother Sarah's maiden name as Butcher.

Thank you

Are you thinking this is likely right then? I thought at first it was a little too far, but of course I could be wrong

I would guess it's from the Norfolk Family History Society.
