Eureka!!!! That's wonderful! Also found a reference to Richard Farmer in Merchant Navy Seamen's records that he was a sailor from 1845...sailor might be Tailor! This is getting v.interesting! Thanks a lot, Steve

That Richard was 47yrs old in 1861 and the children do not match those in 1871

You will find births on freebmd for John, Richard and Oscar - would suggest buying a copy of one of those birth certs to get Kates maiden name

I can't find any marriage for him to Dorothy or Kate/Catherine but those 3 births above were all registered as Farmer and Walter was registered as Farmer in 1867 in Ashton under Lyne Lancs

Found this marriage

Marriages June qtr 1864 
Richard Farmer   Derby  7b    634
Kate Hallsworth   on same page

I don't know which birth cert you are going to send for but if it's Richards - make sure you send for the 1859 one and not the 1860 one.  The 1860 Richard is a different family

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.

They can't be from a previous marriage of Kate's as their births are registered as Farmer
