Faragher - pre 1881 census
« on: Tuesday 21 June 05 23:20 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

Can anyone find the Faragher family - this is them in 1881.

Richard Faragher- Widow - 82 - Formerly Farm Labourer - Rushen.
Richard Faragher- single - 57 - Farm House servant - Rushen.
Eleann Faragher- single - 51 - Nurse Domestic - Rushen.
Isabella Corkhill - single -  grandaughter - 21 - Attending Invalids - Rushen.
Living at Kentraugh, Rushen, Isle of Man.

Do you think Isabella is "Attending" grandfather or will she be doing this occupation for other people?



Cheers

Keith

Your transcription is very slightly wrong:

Richard Faragher- Head - Widow - 82 - Formerly Farm Labourer - Rushen.
Richard Faragher- Son - unmar - 57 - Formerly House servant - Rushen.
Eleanor Faragher- Daur - unmar - 51 - Nurse Domestic - Rushen.
Isabella Corkill - Grand daur - unmar - 21 - Attending Invalids - Rushen.

My guess is the Isabella worked attending invalids rather than was attending her g-father.  Maybe she worked with her aunt.

Richard and Eleanor are most likely the children of Richard Faragher and Isabella Harrison (check IGI for details, including baptism of Isabella Faragher who you think is the one that married John Gates - NB: I have replied to that posting also).

In 1871 Ancestry had them transcribed as Taragder!
Living in Rushen, Address: Strandhall Roade (? hard to read ?)
Richard Faragher, Head, Mar, 72, Farm lab, Rushen
Isabella, Wife, Mar, 72, Rushen
Richard, Son, Unm, 47, Formerly domestic servant, Rushen
Elinor, Daur, Unm, 42, general servant, Rushen
Isabella Corkill, G Daur, 11, scholar, Rushen
William Corkill, G Son, 7, scholar, Rushen

1861
Living in Rushen (sorry I couldn't read the address, it starts with G and loooks like Grimnia???)
Richard Faragher, Head, Mar, 62, Agricultual lab, Rushen
Isabella, Wife, Mar, 62, Rushen
Richard, Son, Unm, 38, Valet, Rushen
John Corkill, Son-in-law, Mar, 21, Joiner, Rushen
Ann Corkill, Daur, Mar, 20, Rushen
Isabella Corkill, G Daur, Un, 1, RUshen

Which I think confirms that this is Richard Faragher and Isabella Harrison.  There are 7 children listed on the IGI and they all match these census entries.  I would definitely check them out in 1841 & 1851 via Brian Lawson to see if Isabella can be confirmed as your Faragher who married Gates.

Cheers,

Ruth

Hi Ruth,

Very many thanks for that information - just what I wanted!!

I had down that Richard and Isabella Harrison were the parents - but it was just an educated guess - I think that the census records now confirm this.
Great job to find the mistranscribed version in 1871 - bet even if I had  the records wouldn't have found them.

Will now go back to Brain Lawsons site  - with this information.

Cheers
