Looking for FARMER connections in Whychbold/Dodderhill area's.

all I know is the following from Parish Records searched for me by a very kind lady;

George Farmer married Mary Price in 1831 at Dodderhill.
Witnesses: Thomas Darby & Elizabeth Price.

John Farmer b.1832 at Whychbold and baptised at Dodderhill 4th Sept 1832.

There are no more children located in the Dodderhill register's.

A search of St. Peter's and St Andrew's of Droitwich did not turn anything up either.

No search made of the 1841 Census.

The family are not on the 1851 Census living in the Worcestershire area.

John Farmer married in 1853 to Elizabeth Mercer at Farnworth, Widnes (Prescot District)
George Farmer is listed on their wedding certificate (not showing as deceased).

Easily find John and Elizabeth on census records but nothing at all for his parents George and Mary Farmer.

I have a feeling that George may have had a connection to the Railway and maybe moved with the construction of the line.

Can anyone give me any pointers's to look for George and Mary Famer.

Stretchie.

ANYONE WITH STRETCH CONNECTIONS IN GRAPPENHALL / CHESTER?

Need a Census search for Lancashire - PLEASE.

Need help locating GEORGE FARMER married to MARY PRICE.
They married at DODDERHILL in Worcestershire in 1831.

However, their son JOHN FARMER b.1832 Whychbold came to Lancashire or maybe Cheshire either with or without his parents ---- I dont know!

All I know is that John married Elizabeth Mercer (born in Overton, Cheshire) in 1853 in Widnes. They where both 19 years old - their marriage cert does not give any addresses, only they both lived in Widnes (Sept 11th 1853)

John's Father was George - it does not say deceased on the marriage cert, so could he still be alive in 1853?  if so, where is he - Someone has checked Worcestershire census for me already, they cant find him.

Maybe he and Mary are in Widnes?  

Id really like to find out more about them.

Can someone helpme?

Stretchie.
