Jemima and Isabella Telford

That's when civil registration started on the Isle of Man!

Compulsory registration of births and deaths started in 1878, much later than in England & Wales. Marriage registration became compulsory in 1884, however there are a large number of entries prior to this.

Hi again,

It is as usual wonderful to wake up and find out all this new information.  I am going to have to digest all this and work out which William T comes in where.

Thank you once again for all your help.

Cheers Liz

I am great granddaughter of Edward and Isabella Fargher who are buried in Tonge cemetery Bolton
Their son James is my grandfather. My mother was Margaret Fargher
Isabella and Jemima Telford were sisters
Edward was from Isle of Man
As was Rechard Kelly

On www.geneanet.org
Telford - Isle of Man
Isabella Telford
Jemima Telford - both marrying around 1825
so it would appear those christian names were used by the family for a long period in The Isle of Man

Thanks for reply yes names were the same down the generations.
My grandparents James and Maggie Fargher emigrated to New Zealand in 1922, my mother was born here. Her brother John Telford Fargher, married and had a son Douglas Telford Fargher who lives in Australia havent had contact for many years. I am last living relative of this branch of Fargher family.
My grandmother was Maggie Green born in Bolton 1893-5? Don’t have any information on her side.
