Thank you very much for your help, Carol, much appreciated.  It just seemed so strange the probate being so far from home.

Caernarvonshire / FARREN...probate at Llandudno.
« on: Tuesday 12 November 13 07:53 GMT (UK)  »
I have found recently that during the 1940's, I have not delved further, that the family name Farren occurred in the Probates of various families in Llandudno, although I do not think the families were related, when they died they were all in England, mainly London, Surrey, Leicestershire and Colchester.
The family I am connected to is William Joseph FARREN married to Mary Ann RAINBOW, he was a retired shipping agent when he died on the 5th December 1943.  I do not know if the FARREN family originally came from Wales or Ireland.  Can anyone find a connect at to why these families would have had probates arranged in Llandudno.

Many thanks

Thank you Sue for all the scouting on my behalf.  It all fits, I am so impressed.  I don't think we are going to be able to squeeze out any more information regarding William.

Thanks Gerry for the detail you have sent.  It certainly seems a very good possibility as it appears William might have be a loner, like his two brothers, all on properties in difference countries but leading rather isolated lives.  Lets see what more we can discover.  Thanks again.

Only the hospital where he died, and he was only there 6 days by the look of the death certificate, only the medical attendant and matron appear on the form, so little to go on.  Perhaps he was just passing through, but having no know relations would they have to investigate further instead of burying him the next day.

Many thanks for the burial details, it is another box to complete.  It would be great to find out what he was doing in Winton.  On one of our trips we got as far as Longreach being completely unaware that we had a relation in Australia.

Hi Sue, to fill in the gaps, his parents were John Abbott & Sarah (nee Hall).  They were on a family farm, Court Farm, Sub.Dist. Clutton, Bath & Wells, UK.  He was listed as a scholar, so being a farming family he would otherwise have been listed as a agr.labour I would think.  But it does not give us much to go on.  I won't expect he would have had a gravestone in Winton, but I was surprised he was of the Catholic faith.  Thank you for your interest.

Thank you both for your replies.  We have been trying to track down this relation for many years and have recently received a copy of his death certificate confirming his parents but little else.  I have tried Trove but am a novice at getting around it.  On his death certificate it did not give an occupation.
We are thinking about going to Winton from South Australia but are looking at all leads before we set off.
