Re: Joseph Faragher + Margaret Cormode m . 1875

In the 1851 census for German Parish:-

At Rhenny - a farming area off the Douglas to Peel Road near the border with the Marown Parish.

John Fargher 51 Braddan landed prop. of 49 acres
Margaret 47 Braddan
James 16 tailor Marown
Elizabeth 13 Marown
Henry 10 Marown
Joseph 2 German
Robert 16 Marown IGI shows death 1837 ?

They appear to be most of the children of John Fargher and Margaret Gelling apart from the four eldest.

Also at Rhenny :-

Edward Gelling 35 Braddan single ( with Fargher family )
John Gelling 87 annuitant Marown
Elizabeth wife 84 Braddan
John 48 Miller Braddan
Alice 41 wife Braddan
Margaret Jane 2 Daugh England

John appears to have married Alice Collister at St Nicholas Church Liverpool 1847 and Margaret Jane was christened there 1848. They returned to the island and Stanley Gelling was christened 1852 in Braddan.

From this census it seems that Joseph is the son of John Fargher and Margaret Gelling.
