Hello Keith,

Very pleased you read my posting. Our William Fargher was buried on 2nd May 1847 aged 45 years according to the St Marks register so likely to have been born 1801/2. There are quite a few Philips in the later generations so as you say could be a connection although I thought our ancestors would want to hide the fact.
You might want to get in touch direct at jcfarrell@blueyonder.co.uk I have further information on Fargher relations from a third cousin of ours living in Santiago, Chile.
