john Thomas Farnsworth b 1869 + his secret children
« on: Sunday 09 January 22 15:27 GMT (UK) »
ive finally worked that out this man is the great grandfather of BOTH  my cousin and a dna match in USA  +( their respective great grandmothers were both unmarried and domestic servants )

I need help filling some gaps now .

john Thomas FARNSWORTH was born in Barnsley yorkshire england to single mother
 sarah ann FARNSWORTH .

baby + mother  lodged at her married sisters home in 1971

in 1972 Sarah ann  Fmarried John MOXON .

on C1881 + C1891 John thomas FARNSWORTH has his step fathers surname MOXON +
he is a builders labourer in Barnsley in 1891

 biological son john henry PRITCHARD is born at westoe durham in sept 1891
I cant find his mother * oops sorry Lillian /Melinda PRITCHARD   in 1891 census

by 1901 she is  a live in domestic servant in south shields and her son is boarding nearby and attending school

meanwhile John Thomas FARNSWORTH  gets married in Barnsley 1892
and wife christiana nee BROOKE  has 2 sons in Barnsley 1894 George + 1896 Ernest
and Albert in staincross   1895

his daughter emily was born Darton, Yorkshire  1899

john thomas Farnsworth  was in Darton C1901 ; i think his job was plater at colliery over ground

so my question is
 how  did a builder  meet ANOTHER  domestic servant : Harriet DOBSON
she had his son  John  William  DOBSON in 1902 in Stockton on the Forest ,Yorkshire.
 
her occupation is given as domestic service on birth certificate

 In 1901 census she was a visitor age 23 with her birth mother sarah williamson (DOBSON)no profession given but could have been helping look after her half siblings .

I d really like to find a census for Melinda Pritchard in 1891( b 28 nov 1869 ealing middlesex )
though described as foreign subject in 1901

photos on trees of the Farnsworth men do bear family resemblance to my cousin
