Wow! That's great....I was wondering if he was even legally married.......but it could be the non-conformist thing.....can't find baptism references for the children either. I do remember a Hallsworth 2nd cousin living with the family in one census so it makes sense. The children John and Richard are born before 1864 so they must be from a previous marriage of Kate or maybe Richard.

Yes.....sorry for the muddle!
I'm looking for him before 1871.
I wonder if he went abroad during that period before 1871 or if there's a reason for him not appearing in the censuses of 1851 and 1861.

Sorry....I was working backwards...so with last trace I was meaning first trace.......I was interested in finding any sign of him before 1871......i.e. in 1861 and 1851......which might indicate that he is the John Farmer I found in 1841...or any marriage.

Yes I tried using John and Richard but didn't find any thing in 1861. In 1901 his age is given as 71 so he could be Richard Farmer b.1831, Methodist baptism and parents Richard and Eliza. Eliza turns up in 1841 with 3 children in Staffs...Richard age 10. But I find no trace in 1851 and 1861, or any trace of a marriage to the first wife Kate who is 9 years his senior......i remember a family myth that someone went to Canada but can find no trace there either.
