Farrow Family from Kendal, Westmorland to Canada

[Ella Cinders]

I can't find anything on Nancy Farrow - the Annie Farrow as witness on marriage registrations could be her as Annie was a nickname for Nancy.

Debbie

You are correct, it is her.  Her name interchanges between Nancy Farrow and Annie Farrow & has been confusing me.

Father Thomas Farrow #219269 and sons Thomas #145877 and Walter #144619 all signed up to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces.  All gave Ann as their next of kin and her address on Gertrude Ave. in Toronto.

Annie's death in 1930 confirms the parents names and that they moved from Quebec to Ontario around 1914 as she had been in the province for 16 years.

There is an online ancestry tree which shows Walter Ferguson Farrow b. 10 Dec 1900 Kendal dying 4 Oct 1962 in Montreal.   His parents are shown as Thomas Farrow( shows death of 22 May 1962 Montreal) and Anne Ferguson.  There is an age discrepancy on all his records.  It shows he married Lily Beatrice Shepherd who was b. Oct 14, 1897 Kendal and d. 1962 Montreal.  There is a marriage record Jun 1919 Kendal 10b 1898 for Lily B. Shepherd and Walter F. Farrow.  The family tree shows Lily's mother as Sarah Hannah Shepherd b. 1878 (any relation to Nancy Shepherd?)

I am following up with all the excellent information contributed on this topic. Reply #12 regarding James & Elizabeth's children is a key in my search.  I believe the confusion regarding Thomas Farrow's birth is due to the death & subsquent reuse of the name Thomas, in this case it appears to have occurred more than once.  I had been unaware that there was more than one Thomas born to this family. Sadly, so many of the children died in early childhood.  I will be looking at Reply #12 more closely for additional clues.  Many thanks.
