Hello,
Many thanks for getting in touch. I do recognise the name Farthing, which means I think that youre descended from Amina Allee and William Smith, like me. I'd love to know more about your tree.

Hi yes their granddaughter was my great grandmother Edith Maud Smith
who always said she was an Indian princess!!
We have a photograph of her. She married William Farthing They lived in Acton Lane
and I believe that had at least nine children
My grandfather was also called William he married Helen Bryan and they had 5 children
Helen died aged 23 and he remarried Dora. My aunt and Uncle are alive and well and they do have documentation birth certificates ect
Hadjee Allee.was indeed a cook and he did write a cookery book. How do you fit in

My great grandfather was Wiiliam Farthing who did indeed have 9 children - one of them was my grandmother Gertrede Maud who married Percy Fisher (nee Allnutt) - my brother has done a lot of research into our family history but we have drawn a blank on the Indian side - anyone got any update/links we can follow?
