I might have to buy his death cert to see when he came to Oz. He's just a twig so it might not be that important....lol. There are quite a few M Farrs coming over paying their own way.

His cousin, Myles Ariel Clark, also came out for a while, but he was 17 years older and was back in England by 1868 in time to marry Mary Ann Rockett.

Julie......last mention in UK for Myles Ariel Farr is 1871 census when he is at school aged 11.
First mention in Oz is in Vic having and affair with a married woman in Feb 1891. He goes on to marry her later that year. Divorces must have been quicker then....lol

He is listed as a tailer's assistant. Now he would have been 31 then so seems a bit old to be an assistant.

There is a mention of his will in a WA paper (he died in Vic in 1917) saying he was an engineer....not sure when that happened. They are both in Trove.

I could say something about the "carrying on with married women" but this the nephew of missing Agatha.....lol

He is supposed to have started the affair with the married woman in 1887, isn't he?

Yes, although she and her husband Henry Temple were only married that year.

Looks like Myles was in NZ before he moved to Victoria:

He and his brother Raymond don't seem to be on the NZ electoral rolls, though.

You're a star Mary.

Wonder what happened in that family. Some seemed very close, others not.

I'd love to go back and be a fly on the wall....lol

1876 makes him only 17. Maybe he'd been a bad boy already and sent off.
