David Farr
David Kirkby Farr is born 1852 in Wales to Henry Farr and his wife Elizabeth Naylor Farr, née Ariel.
I have him on census. 1883 he comes to Australia unassisted. His age is written as 18 on Ancestry, but FMP has two people same name same ship, different ages. Might be a mistake. Might be a lie. lol
Also in 1883 he is admitted to the bar in Sydney as a solicitor (his father was a solicitor as well).
In 1889, he asked to have his name struck off as he wasn’t working as a solicitor.
In 1900 USA census, he is in California, and married to Elizabeth. He gives his birth as Sept 1854, and he’s been married 20 years. Now you’d think a solicitor would know his birth date, surely. ???
By 1910 census, he is still with Elizabeth, but they’ve only been married 26 years. Even I know it should be 30 if the 1900 census is correct.
Elizabeth, his wife, says she was born in England.
In 1881 UK census, he is single.
He dies in California in 1916.
Can anyone find a marriage for him please.
The NSW site is down at the moment as well, sorry.
