Breconshire Lookup Requests / Missing info for the 3 daughters of Benjamin Farmer
« on: Sunday 12 December 10 20:14 GMT (UK) »
I'm finding myself at a dead-end with the children of my ancestor Benjamin Farmer. While i can find details on all his male offspring including tracking down his australian descendants, i can't find anything on his 3 daughters after 1861, so i wonder if anyone out there might be able to help me track some info down.
Benjamin was born abt 1816 in Brecon and died in 1897 in newport/ He married Eliza Hughes b.1815 and d.1892.
Their children are:-
Thomas b.1837 Brecon
Ann b.1839 Varteg
Margaret b.1842 Brecon
Eliza b.1844 Brecon
Benjamin b.1848 Pwghllis
John b.1851 Brecon
William b.1853 Brecon
George b.1857 Brecon
So its Ann, Margaret and Eliza i'm having the problems with. Ann and Eliza seem to disappear after the 1861, while Margaret is on the 1851 census but not on the same 1861 census as her sisters. I have birth records for all 3 but can't seem to find any marriage or death records for them.
Any ideas? Can anyone else find them anywhere?
All help is appreciated
