Find Ancestors

Hi there,

I am trying to find my Grandmas Great Granddad Albert Farrar. I have found him in the 1901 Census and have added him and his children to my Family tree. If I go back 10 years he then disappears. I want to find his father and keep going back as far as I can.

He was married to Sarah Ann Farrar, and has Allan, Harry, Leo and Leonard as children

Any help would be great, thanks.

Lee

This one fits with marriage of 33 years:

Child John William Leeds 9b 529
Farrer Albert Leeds 9b 529
FOZZARD Ann Leeds 9b 529
Woodcock Sarah Ann Leeds 9b 529

I'm pretty confident about that marriage as here is sarah 1871:

1871 England Census

Sarah Ann Woodcock 14
Esther Woodcock 10

George Henry Woodcock 2

Yes, thanks brummiejan, I have that information with the exception of Henry. Thanks, you have been great. Also, I normally don't do the maternal side as I want to know where the names originate but the marriage details are very much appreciated.

safc, I'm not positive if that is Him.

Thanks Ellen too for your input.

One of the census says that his mother could be called Mary. But there is no father, I don't know if he died or not? Its getting slightly hard to go from here as my grandmother was only young when his son Wilfred died.

Thanks

Asn there are two possibles this will be tricky - depends how much youm wish to risk!

Births Dec 1853 (>99%)
FARRAR Albert Leeds 9b 340

Births Sep 1858 (>99%)
Farrar Albert Leeds 9b 302

Yea I got these two results too...

It's hard is this whole business.

Cheers

Also, Henry and Harry Farrar are born the same year but appear in different Census's...

1871 Census.

Mary Farrar Head - 46 = 1825ish
Albert Farrar Son - 17 = 1854ish

There is no Father for Albert by the looks of it.

Going back to the 61 Census and Albert from Leeds does not exist. Hit a complete roadblock...

Lee

Do I take it you do not have the marriage cert? You definitely need it if this is so.

Can't see Albert and mary 1871, please can you paste it onto here?

I have no details what so ever for my family. I'm doing research on word of mouth alone. So no marriage certificate. How did you manage to find James Farrar? I'm still kind of new to this so any advice and tips would be great. Thanks.

My grandmas family died quite young. I'm only 21 my self so its getting difficult to get information as her and her sister are the only Farrars left.
