Default If anyone is bored...

I wouldn't mind some ideas here...

Henry Farr born 1811, Bristol and Elizabeth Naylor Ariel born 2nd July 1817, Bristol, marry in 1840 in Bristol.

Henry is a solicitor and they move to Wales where all the children are born.

Henry Ariel Farr 1841
Arthur John Farr 1844
Olivia Mary Farr 1846
Agnes Eliza Farr 1849
Flora Charlotte Farr 1850
David Kirkby Farr 1853
Raymond Eyre Farr 1856
Theodosia Harriett Farr 1857
Edith Eyre Farr 1859
Myles Ariel Farr 1860
Charles James Farr 1862

Elizabeth died in 1867 in Gower Glamorgan. No idea what she was doing there?

I have the family in Wales (Christchurch, Monmouthshire) in the census. 1861 and 1871 they are at Kensington Place Christchurch......or it could be Hennington Place.
1881 they are at Albert Ave.

I cannot find any trace of Myles or Charles in 1871. I've tried England and Wales.

Charles in back home in 1881 as an undergraduate of Durham. ??
Myles next shows up at his marriage in Australia in Feb 1891. He's accused of having an affair with a married woman. Must be a habit for the Ariel lot...lol

He later that year marries the woman in Victoria Australia. I have him after that till his death.

Can anyone find Myles Ariel Farr between the census of 1861 and 1891 in Australia?

Can anyone find Charles James Farr in the census of 1871?

I'm assuming they were in school somewhere??

I think it is Kensington Place, Libby.

Myles's birthplace in 1861 is Christchurch, Monmouthshire, and the same for Charles in 1881, in case we need a more accurate birthplace to search on than just Wales.

Does Myles's death certificate say when he is supposed to have arrived in Australia?

Also of "threatening the life" of her husband!

I'm sure that's probably him being drunk Kite.

I've got to check whether he died as an engineer now. There's a mention of his will in a newspaper and they say engineer....

I'll play with that after brekky.
