Wife of William FARR ,Born 1818, Dittisham

[sunshinekid]

I believe my Great grandfather and Grandmother were married in Monmouth.
Reginald Arthur Williams   Rosa Jane Farr  Wolborough Newton Abbott
her parents I think are
John H Farr and Ann P Farr (nee Bowden)

I think I have also found John H Farr's Father in a 1861 Census but it states that he was a widow. William Farr aged 43.

I would like to find the wife of William Farr   i think they were married in 1844 in Dittisham, Devon

any help would be appreciated
thanks

You have to establish who he married first before you can find out the info you want.

Have you not thought of looking on the 1851 census for the family?  Son Samuel was 12 in 1861 so should be on the 1851.  That will give you his wifes details - try under Fox

I strongly suspect he married Sarah Jeffrey - have a look at the 1861 image - there is a Jeffrey family living next door

Have a look at freebmd 1858 - death of Sarah Farr in Totnes
If you look at other Farr entries on freebmd you will see in the same qtr of the same year the death of Emma Jane Jeffrey Farr which suggests Sarah may have died in childbirth

Thanks for the info
I could not find the 1851 or 1841 census.
I use ancestory at my local libary.
I will have another go

In 1851 they are indexed as Fox. Although image is unclear, I think it is Farr

Address is just Lower Dittisham and all were b Dittisham

William Farr 33  carpenter
Sarah  33 
William G   4 
Samuel   2

He appears to have been illegitimate
