William Farnham

I've been having a fuzzy headed few days, the kind where you have to end phone calls because you can't follow a conversation . So I am probably being premature in saying that I am stuck ...

Anyway, William, son of George Farnham and Ann Hansford; born 2 Dec 1881 in North Perrott, Somerset. Family moved to Cardiff area by 1901 (in Canton).

I can't find him after this, possible marriage in Cardiff in 1905.

Any help gratefully received, only hope I will understand it

How? I'm going to have a shower and wash my hair and hopefully when I look again it will just be there ....

 

It will

I cannot find him in 1939, nor a death

 

Found his death Dec qtr 1977 (I had not looked for one after 1970)
South Glamorgan v28 p2299 - dob 2/12/1881

 

Found him on 1939 census transcribed as FANNHAM.

 

Thanks. The 1911 was under Fareham on ancestry, I should have guessed

 

Hmmm, actually cross checking the children's births on GRO website, i found that he married Alice Maud Rudd ... Who would believe the two brides with this reference number are both Alice Ms?

 

whoops - I didn't check that one properly!

 

No worries
