I have a Mary FARRER who married Richard BURN at Addingham (no longer extant but between Glassonby and Gamblesby in Cumberland) in 1755. By 1763 when my ggg-grandfather was born, they were living at Temple Sowerby. The only date-compatible candidate for Mary FARRER that I have found (from the IGI) was born in 1729 at Troutbeck, Westmorland which is rather unlikely. -- ==== Michael Lightfoot Canberra, Australia Researching BURN(E), HARRISON, FARRER, OGLETHORP(E), TALLENTI[RN]E and others in Cumberland and Westmorland michael.lightfoot@pcug.org.au ====
