I have been researching the name FARRELL for a while.
Family stories say they came from Ireland.
I was able to determine the following but am now stuck.
Patrick Farrell married Mary Holalock (b1806 in blandford, Dorset, d 854 - Blandford) sometime between 1825 and 1835.
I have 4 children for her in the 1851 census (in Blandford) where she is a widow.
Her children which she seems to have had quite late in life were;
Pat b1836 in Limerick, Ireland
Mary b1838 Hull, York - have b/c - father is shown as a policeman
Catherine b1842 - Limerick, ireland
Thomas b1843 - Limerick Ireland
But that is it - I know nothing else about the parents Patrick and Mary.
Can't find a 41 census record for them - assume they were in Ireland
Can't work out why some of the children were born in Ireland and one from York.
Can't understand why the mother was born and living in Blandford, Dorset in the 51c would have been over in Ireland and then over in York and then back to Ireland and then back to Blandford.
Can't find any records for Patrick so early to show he was a Policeman.
I am hoping to search for Marriage in the Parish records next time I can get down that way, although she may have been married in Irealnd.
What else can I do to get some answers?
Any thoughts welcome.
