I am trying to trace the father of William Farey born Kislingbury, Northants approx 1823. He married at Lambeth in 1848 Martha Jeffery (strangely also from Kislingbury) Any chance someone with access to Ancestry could tell me who his father is? I can get access to library under normal circumstances but am currently housebound. :( . Strong probability its a Benjamin? Very many thanks. Simon

I think you've got your dates a bit wrong - they married on 13 Apr 1845 at St John's Waterloo. William was of full age, and Martha was a minor.
Both resident at Duke St.
His father: Benjamin Farey, labourer.
Her father: Thomas Jeffery, bootmaker.
-
It looks as though William was baptised at the Wesleyan chapel in Northampton (Gold St.).
22 Jan 1823
William Farey born 21 October 1822
Father: Benjamin Farey of Kislingbury
Mother: Elizabeth his wife (daughter of Joseph and Mary Carter)
-
Martha on the other hand was registered as a Baptist.
Martha Jeffery, daughter of Thomas Jeffery by Abgile [sic] Jeffery his wife, was born at their dwelling-house in Kislingbury August 17th 1827. Attested [by various witnesses].
Registered at Kislingbury (Baptist) April 28th 1831.

Thats fantastic! Very many thanks for your help. Are there any sign of other Fareys? in the Methodist Records?
I think I have found Thomas Jeffery in the 1841 Census along with Martha in Kislingbury but William may have gone South. There was an Elizabeth Farey Widow and a Mary poss daughter.

Also in the Gold Street records are John (1820), Benjamin (1827), sons of Benjamin & Elizabeth (Carter); there's also a Thomas s Joseph & Mary (Dickens) of Kislingbury baptised in 1823 in the same church.
Benjamin & Elizabeth were married 15 Oct 1818 in Ecton, Benjamin was given as of Preston Deanery

Thank you for your help and interest. I did notice the baptisms on mass. (Sarah seems to be the daughter of Joseph and Mary Farey who must be in some way related to Benjamins family).
Not sure about Sarah but all the others were baptised as Methodists. I think that perhaps after the father died in 1830 (If I have the correct Benjamin), the mother had them all baptised a second time in the Anglican Church. What do you think? Have you seen the mass baptism entry? Suppose there is no reference to Benj. being deceased?
-
Sorry you are right Sarah was the Daug of Joseph/Mary.
FreeREG does not say Benj was deceased on the Baptisms.
Yes I saw the possible 1830 Burial for Benj on F/S.Org.

I am now pretty sure Joseph and Benjamin were brothers originally from Cognoe, Northants. There are some entries in Ancestry Ill need to verify. All I can see without subscription is there is a Benjamin and Joseph with parents being John and Mary around the 1790's.
Fingers crossed someone might fill in the blanks for me .... anyone?
