Hi 

George Farish died Dec 6 1889, Canonbie,  aged 55. Married to Marie Wilson.

Parents - John Farish (reputed father), deceased and Elizabeth Nixon, domestic servant, deceased.

The informant was Thomas Irving, brother in law.

Could some of them be related through his wife?

Regards

It seems to me that poor Elizabeth was an Ag lab/labourer most of her life and had children by a number of different fathers. She must have had a very hard life
