Farr in Canada

[jorose]

They were still in Truro in 1851:

Goodwives Lane, Truro:

William Farr, 35, Shoemaker
Rebecca, 30, baker
Mary, 13, stays home
Thomas, 12, shop boy

Thomas Rees Farr m. Mar 1861 Truro registration district and appears in the 1861 census, with wife Catherine W. (probably Catherine Williams Birch who appears on freebmd in the same quarter/volume/page reference) the rest of the family seem to have left by then (or possibly Mary has married?).  Thomas and Catherine don't seem to be on 1871 or 1881, though, so maybe they emigrated afterwards.
