Re: Descendants of Thomas Fargher & Jane Quayle

Colin,
We believe her maiden name was Cain(e) but unfortunately I have failed to find anything concrete about this part of my family. (see my message posted in March for details held)
All I have are some family stories which I have to treat as dubious. There is probably an element of truth in them, but Chinese Whispers is nothing compared to the Manx version.
We are told that William Faragher went to the States, worked in the gold mines, and made enough money to come back to the I.o.M to collect his family. They never went back to the States due to war breaking out. My great-grandfather died in Flanders in 1917. His memorial is the only documented evidence of his father and mothers christian names "William & Alice"
