Difficult MacFarlane
« on: Tuesday 11 February 20 08:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi I’m looking for a William MacFarlane.
Here’s what I think I know
Born about 1843 Scotland, it’s a big place lol.
I can find him on a 1901 census piece 3282 folio 159.
My family member is his Son James 1880 I think they were both blacksmiths
Thank you in advance

Sorry, yes. I added his occupation - blacksmith.

The children seem to be registered at Ashton Under Lyne with mother's maiden name WAGSTAFF(E)
