They came to NZ 1873 or 1874 with a child named JANE SMITH. Possibly from Faringdon Berkshire England. Richard's death certificate lists his parents as George and Sarah FARR, labourers. Sarah is listed as the daughter of Thomas MAY or MAYO, publican.JANE SMITH was not their natural daughter, and gives her fathers name as THOMAS SMITH. The family story is that Jane was the daughter of gypsies, so her birthplace of Faringdon may not be the home of the FARRS.. Thanks Jean
