CWGC additional Information: Son of Mr. and Mrs. John E. Farr, of 66, Friston St., Ladywood, Birmingham.

I have managed to establish that the father, John Enoch, was born Birmingham abt 1866 who married Jane Elizabeth Carter in 1892 but I cannot establish birth year and place of the mother or of any Harold's siblings.

Thanks

Mel

Thanks for all the effort.

At the moment, we are confining the genealogical information to the soldier's parents, siblings and wife and children in order to avoid being swamped with false leads from descendents of those related only by marriage.

The assumption is that if family trees have been entered on Genesreunited then the bedrock will be the 1901 census.

Please do not take this as an attempt to curb your enthusiasm.

Mel

Hi Mel I understand that.
Just shout if there's anything I can do.
I can't see a tree that fits the Farr family on Genes but it may pop up at sometime.
