Hi Listers,

I need help in my searching.

I am trying to find William FARRER b.1758 (maybe)

) and his brother Joseph b. 1764

Parents were Henry FARRER and Sussanah FARRER married in Bradford Cathedral? in 1757

Children were.

William b. 1758

John b.1759 in Bradford

Benjamin b.1761? in Bradford

Christiana b.1762? in Bradford

Joseph b. 1764 ibn Bradford.

Henry and Sussanah lived in Apple Hall in Barkerend near Bradford and were comfortably off.

Then in 1784 Henry left and went to London and became a fruit seller in Spitalfield Market.

He had another 5 sons to his housekeeper and even though his wife was still living in Bradford.

Henry wrote a will in 1795 (which I have a copy) saying he was leaving his house in

Bradford to his wife and various money to his five children, in this order, William, John, Benjamin, Joseph and Christiana, He died in1800. Sussanah his

wife in Bradford died in 1818 but no will. Maybe he assumed they were all still alive as maybe there wouldnt be any contact.

I found a William FARRER b. in 1758 to Henry in Guiseley. Farrers were all from there?

originally but not sure if this one is mine as Henry and Sussanah were living in Eccleshill

at the time of their marriage and birth of the other children.

I only have found Joseph’s baptism in Bradford Cathedral but nothing else. There is a few

marriages with Joseph to various people but he would have been about 30 so not sure again

if this is him.

Sussanah was nee JOBSON who had money and most of her brothers didnt marry so her

father and brothers wrote wills - 1759, 1770 and 1784 and neither William or Joseph were

mentioned, whereas John b. 1759 was and then in 1784, Benjamin. Christiana and

John were mentioned.?

Then the last Jobson who died 1826 in his will all the estate went to Benjamin.

Hope the above isnt too confusing.
