Agnes WESTERMAN- John FARMER

[R_Hood]

I've been quizing an aged aunt (95) on the subject who tells me that my mother spent a lot of time as a child with her Grandmother Eliza, as I still feel it is a blood relation I am looking for.  Now Eliza had a sister Agnes Annie Westerman. I have her married to Robert Elliott - who curiously died in W. Derby (Liverpool) in 1892 after marrying Agnes in 1883.  The story of marrying a captain in Liverpool and emigrating to Australia still stands which had led me to the John Farmer connection.  Its all very confusing and I think it can only be resolved by obtaining the relevant birth and marriage certs.
Another point is that my mother was born in 1904 so it is likely that the emigration was much later than 1900.

Just a thought - If Agnes went to Australia as the captain's wife, would she be on the passenger list or counted in with the crew?

Another piece of family information just gleaned was that Agnes and John first emigrated to Adelaide and had a daughter called Adele.  (Sounds feasable)  Could she be the one my mother kept contact with?

Birth registrations are only available to 1937 in South Australia.  There is no birth registered with Agnes WESTERMAN as mother.  It is difficult to help you if you don't know the name of Agnes WESTERMAN's husband.

. . . . . . However, if she had been born a Hutchinson she cannot be the Agnes Mary Westerman b. Nottingham that I thought. I've always assumed she was a blood relative of my mother whose grandfather was a Westerman. Finding the date of their emigration would be a great help I think, so I'll keep looking

Thanks Essie
I think I have mixed up two Agnes's.  I can confirm that her Father, Walter, emigrated to South Africa where he was the Goverment Inspector of the Cape Railways.  Curiously his marriage gave an earlier link across my paternal and maternal sides.
Thanks Cando
John Farmer may still fit in here.  The other Agnes Westerman b 1863 Married Robert Elliott in 1883. He died in 1892 in W. Derby, Liverpool.
