Member Since: May 2005 Posts: 55 Send Message	Have been able to find the family of James M Farr b1841 Bethnal Green and Louisa M Farr b1852 Plymouth in each census except for 1891, although I did find their 11 year old son living with his Aunt and Uncle in Wales. Family were based in England for all census bar 1901 when James was in Wales and Lousia was in England. Can anyone find them for me??? Please Marlene.

	Hi Marlene, I know Sue has found your family on another site. I have found them on Ancestry.....in a roundabout way...Ancestry has made a boob !!! To find your Farrs type in .......William Vale born 1851.....then click on the Walthamstow one.... then click on the image...... and hey presto !!!! Regards Vera
