Rita

Just glancing throughthe 1851 census index for Framfield I see there are a couple of Friend Farrants there then. They did move around a lot though didn't they? Stanmer, East Hoathly etc. A long way apart in those days.
Andrea

Hi
I have a William Farrent (or Fanent) married to a Phoebe Walls (nee Wing - second marriage for Phoebe).
Does anyone have a William/Phoebe that they are researching. I haven't been able to find out anything at all about them.
William & Phoebe were married 9 February 1807 at West Hoathly, witness to the marriage were William Wing & Rebecca Wing.
Regards

Hi
I have a whole lot of family called Farrent ,Farrents,Ferrans,Fearans, Fearance,Forrans,that has me going round in circles I started of in Caernarvon Wales ,then my journey by way of census 1851, took me to Liverpool, Lancs, in 1808,and down to the south coast around 1831.it all starts with George Fearance in Liverpool 1808 I can go into the future but no further back ,has anyone knowledge of the origins of this name
-
Greetings Rita,
I have found a Thomas Farrent baptized 1735 on the IGI. An extracted entry from Barcombe. There is also Francis a sibling bp 1746. Would this be your Thomas? rather than1731. I have also found the marriage of these two parents. Would you like this info?
Have you seen the Farrents in Laughton? They caught my eye as there is a John and Elizabeth there. I kinda suspect they may be not "my" John and Elizabeth who married in Hamsey. I just haven't found a marriage for the two in Laughton.
Kaye
-
Hi Kaye
Thanks for info like you l found Thomas baptised 21 March 1735 Barcombe parents Robert Farrant & Ann harfield also found his siblings Robert 25 dec 1740 Francis 9 Oct 1746 William 12 june 1743 Sarah 23 dec 1744.
Have you got this? John Farrant born 28-6-1778 Hamsey parents francis Farrant & Mary Duffle John Farrant married Elizabeth Smith 5-11-1798 at Hamsey and he died 5-2-1855 at Laughten.

Greetings Rita,
Thanks for your info. Now I have found a Thomas and Sarah Farrant with a Robert 1696 is this the same family you have. Also have a Thomas and Mary for them. What parish did you find the Thomas Farrant and Sarah Ling.
Regards
Kaye
-
Hi Kaye
I found them in East Grinstead and Robert & Mary are all the same family but sometimes name is spelt Farrance or Farrants or even Furrent.
Rita
-
Greetings Rita,
The film copy I have of the East Grinstead is most challenging. be darned if I can find the marriage of Thomas and Sarah Ling.
Thanks for your input :)
Kaye
-
Hello Kaye
Marraige of Thomas & Sarah was 27th June 1687 but his name is down as Farrance l have found they spelt farrant so many different way's.
Rita
-
Greetings Rita,
Thank you sooooo much. I will AGAIN look at this film. It has to be there.
Kaye
-
Hi all
This is the first time I have used this site. I am interested in Thomas Farrance and Sarah Ling. Does anyone have a full list of their children as I believe George Pharrance is one of them. I wish they wouldn't keep changing the spelling of the name it make sit so difficult to track. Also does anyone have the correct birth dates for Thomas and Sarah and does anyone know who their parents are?
Debbie
-
Hi l have the children of Thomas Farrant & Sarah Ling l will sort them out and send them to you l am sorry l haven't replied before but our computer has been down and only came back today l am sure l have also got Thomas & Sarah marraige
Rita

Hi Debbie Thomas Farrance (should be Farrant) married Sarah Ling 27 June 1687he died 20 Sept 1727 she died 1734 children Thomas Sarah Richard Francis Robert Sarah l have also got down a George but have not confirmed he is the son of Thomas & Sarah.

Hi Rita
My maiden name was Farrant and I live in Brighton, my grandad was born in W. Hoathley (I think, if it wasn't W it was E), I have a little info on rellies in Framfield and various other parts of Sussex which I have been given by a distant cousin who was looking at a different part of the family!
Best wishes
Sue

Rita
-
Greetings Sue,
I am very interested in all Farrants. I am finding connections popping up over E. Sussex. my first Farrant, Eliza was born in E.Hoathley :)
Kaye
-
Hello Kaye
Is your Eliza the one who maaried ? Hobbs if so l think we may have been in contact before and we have a connection
Rita
-
Did any of your FARRANTS cross the border into Kent?
I have an Elizabeth FARRANCE marrying Samuel BAYLY 1709 in Staplehurst.
Have not found her baptism nor are there any other BMD for the FARRANCE name in the village at this time. Would love to find out where she came from.
-
Hi
I have Eliza Farrant who was born in 1849 but she was born in Framfield, not E. Hoathley although I have got Jane Eliza born in 1877 in E.Hoathley. Most of my Farrant's are in Framfield with a few in E.Hoathley, Uckfield and a couple in Kent.
Sue
-
Greetings Rita,
Yes indeed we have had contact. I am still trying to fill in the blanks Yet to make a connection to the ones we know to a John Farrant who had children in Chiddingly in the mid 1600s. ( if there is one) So I am looking at all Farrants.
Sue my Eliza Farrant was born 1809 East Hoathly, her father John, so I am wondering if there is any connection to your grandad. :)
Kaye
-
Hi Kaye
It's quite possible, do you have any other details? The only details I have are what I've been kindly given although looking at this post I think I should have followed this side of the family and not one the other end of the country!!!!!
Sue
-
Hi Kaye was Eliza farrant the daughter of John Farrant & Elizabeth Smith? if so l can give you email address of my friend who has these on her tree between hher and l we have done the tree back to 1662
Rita
-
Hi
Hope you don't mind me butting in but I would love to see that if you wouldn't mind. The Farrant name died with my dad on our side as he had 2 girls and was an only child, his dad, my grandad only had sisters so there you go, I would be really interested.
Many thanks
Sue
-
Hi Sue
We go back to Thomas Farrant born 1662 he married Sarah Ling what details do you have
Rita
-
Hi Rita
I only go back to Thomas and Elizabeth Smith 1731 and the majority of that is courtesy of distant relations as I'm actually looking into my mum's Fathers side of the family which is Durham based but I'm getting hooked here as well particularly as this is where I live!!! Where did you manage to get all the info from?
Sue
-

Hi Kaye here is that email for you hilary.farrant@virginnet
Rita

Just to warn you that on the whole it is not a good idea to publish emails on here - they may be pinched and used for spam! We generally use the Personal Message bit to send that sort of thing. That is an option found in the square greyish picture under the name.
You can go in to delete it by looking at your post and pressing the modify button or sometimes the moderator will do it for you.

Ta muchly Rita :)
Thanks also for that info Andrea

Hi Rita,
I've just found this excellent site too, infact Iwas going to let you about it.
How are you studies going? Thanks to some really kind people I've made some headway with my married name which has always been a mystery. Have all your Farrant studies taken my Naomi further back.
Best wishes, keep in touch Brigitte
-
Hi Brigette
Yes this is a great site everyone on here is really helpful l have quite a bit of info on your Naomi which l will sort out and send to you
Rita
-
Hi again.
Thanks. I've never done a lot with the Farrants because other names seem to take up so much of my time. I hope that all is well.

Hi
I have just found the marriage ot Thomas Farance and Sarah Ling:
27th June 1687 in the parish of Clare in Suffolk
Hope this helps!!
Sue
-
Greetings Sue,
Well that is most interesting find. What records has that entry.
I notice you have Blenkinsop. I have Blinkingsopps in Northamptonshire.
Regards
Kaye
-
Hi Kaye
I found it on Family History on line. After having spent Monday at the records centre in Chichester looking for this info I then find it in the comfort of my own home!!!!!
My Blenkinsop's so far are in Yarm in Yorkshire but if the very Sussex Farrant's make it to Suffolk who knows where I might find them next!
Best Wishes
Sue

Hi all..I'm new to the site...haven't done any of this for AGES, but got bored tonight and googled a few 'Farrants' and came up with this site..and a good one it is too... :)
I'm related to the Thomas Farrance married to Sarah Ling...I have them as having 6 kids for definite, possibly 8!
Sarah parents were Thomas Ling and Sarah !!!!! married Chivington about 1665....
Does anyone have info on who were the parents of thomas b 1662?
I have also found a Thomas Farrant who married Joan Grymston 25/10/1605 Castle Camps which is in the area, might be a lead for someone to follow up, maybe the grandfather of Thomas b 1662?....I cant remember where I found it, didnt write it down!!!
Let me know of you find a link PLEASE.
Steve

Hi Kaye
I found them in East Grinstead and Robert & Mary are all the same family but sometimes name is spelt Farrance or Farrants or even Furrent.

Rita
Hi Rita....How many kids do you have for Thomas/Sarah?
I 'think' I have 8....Thomas 1688, Sarah 1690, Richard, Robert 1696 and Mary, Elizabeth (no dates)..I have the # 8 written down by their names, not sure where I got it from but only 6 listed!
Would appreciate some of your info if you don't mind.
Where do or paths cross?
Does anyone descend from James Thomas Farrant (my great grandfather) b 1846 who married Kezia(h) Watts b1855 in Sept 1887?
-
I just did a 'query' on www.mytrees.com, the free bit (I'm not a paid up member) and found this:
Search Hits for Query: FARRANCE, THOMAS from 1620 to 1640; in all volumes.
It came up with one 'hit' but no DOB...it is just a guess that Thomas's father was also called Thomas and was born between 1620/40..just a thought..might be of use to someone!
