Missing info for the 3 daughters of Benjamin Farmer

[GuybrushThreepwood]

I'm finding myself at a dead-end with the children of my ancestor Benjamin Farmer. While i can find details on all his male offspring including tracking down his australian descendants, i can't find anything on his 3 daughters after 1861, so i wonder if anyone out there might be able to help me track some info down.

Benjamin was born abt 1816 in Brecon and died in 1897 in newport/ He married Eliza Hughes b.1815 and d.1892.
Their children are:-
Thomas b.1837 Brecon
Ann b.1839 Varteg
Margaret b.1842 Brecon
Eliza b.1844 Brecon
Benjamin b.1848 Pwghllis
John b.1851 Brecon
William b.1853 Brecon
George b.1857 Brecon

So its Ann, Margaret and Eliza i'm having the problems with. Ann and Eliza seem to disappear after the 1861, while Margaret is on the 1851 census but not on the same 1861 census as her sisters. I have birth records for all 3 but can't seem to find any marriage or death records for them.
Any ideas? Can anyone else find them anywhere?
All help is appreciated

Hello 

Have you considered the 1861 (Sep Q) marriage for Elizabeth Farmer and William James?

not sure which is the right groom 

There is also an Elizabeth Farmer born Breconshire, who is a servant in 1871 in Bridgend, Glamorgan district.....

Hello Wayne.  Is this possibly the same Benjamin Farmer who was the proprietor of the Clarence Hotel in Pontypool in the mid-1800s?  Thanks . . .

Hi Helen
Wow, i can honestly say i haven't found anything regarding the Clarence Hotel myself, but it sounds like its a real possibility it is him as i know he owned a lot of property - he owned the King's Arms in Brecon for a while, and in the 1875 directory he has a saddler shop on Commercial Street in Pontypool.
I would be interested in finding out more
Regards

Hi again, Wayne.  The proprietor of the Clarence Hotel in 1849, 1850, according to Hunt's Directory for those years, was Benjamin Farmer, but I don't know if he was "your man" or not.  There is also a Benjamin Farmer who is a builder and stone mason in Bristol during this same period.  You can find the Hunt's Directories at the <www.historicaldirectories.org> website.  Let me know how you get on; I'll be interested to know.

Thanks,

Helen
