Another newspaper item that may be of interest:

"PETTY SESSSION, MONDAY, AUGUST 27.
   Present L. Ames and H. Brandreth, Esqs. ...
   Isaac Hoar, of Woodside, was charged with receiving
wood, the property of Benjamin Christy, knowing the same
to be stolen, at Woodside.- Mr. Day appeared for the pri-
soner.- A man named Waller stated that Hoar told him his
cart shafts were nearly worn out, and that there was a pair
in his master's (Mr. Christy) waggon house, and he could
get them if he would give him 2s. for them. He was to lay
them in the ditch at the back of the prisoner's garden.
Waller took them and put them where Hoar told him.
About two or three days after he saw Hoar, and asked him
if he had got them. Hoar said "Yes, it was all right, he
had got them." He then asked him for the 2s. and Hoar
replied he had no money then, but would pay him as soon
as he had some.- The prosecutor and Waller identified the
property.- Mr. DAY applied for the prisoner to be dealt
with under the new act, and sentenced at once. - The BENCH
seemed to doubt their power to do so in this case, and com-
mitted him for trial.- Admitted to bail."

Thanks for that Maddys52, I had come across that as well and it's the same year he married Caroline, about a month after. Glad he was found not guilty...
I have started a new post for Isaac and William Edward Hoar/e here:

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=846212.0

Most of the above information you've posted is included, and someone's posted the other children of Joesph & Martha including Ann, but if you find anything further, feel free to post it there, I'm very grateful for all the help I'm getting.  :)

I think there was a Jacob FARRER (mmn FITZJOHN)  born 1864, and Isaac born 1866, also registered at Uxbridge, so Martha not the youngest.  ;)


Hi again,

Further confirmation this is indeed Martha's family. This Jacob is the brother of Martha's who also emigrated to Australia, however he was known as William/Bill. He travelled in 1885, aged 20, as William Farrer of Middlesex. He lived and worked as a painter, dyer/dry cleaner in Newcastle, NSW, but I couldn't find a death record for a William Farrer, so searched for any Farrer with Frederick and Edith as parents, and came up with Jacob. I found the newspaper entry Family Notice for Jacob Farrer, and there it mentions that he's the dear Uncle of Mrs Winter of Dundas, who is my great grandmother, Martha's daughter.
