His great-grandfather was Daniel Savory Farage who married Lucy Susannah Moynihan in 1883 in the Islington district. They had 11 children, all still living in 1911, by which time, Lucy was a widow, so her marital details were crossed out. Daniel Savory Farage was born in 1845 in the Croydon area, son of Edward Farage and Sarah Savory, who married at Newington on 30th April, 1840. Edward was a police constable and was a police witness in this Old Bailey case of 1838: http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?path=sessionsPapers%2F18380101.xml Edward does not appear on the 1841 census with his wife, Sarah, who was then living with her mother, Martha Savory, and her baby son, William. But they were in other censuses together, where Edward was stated to be born in Mitcham or Croydon around 1813. Edward Feridge was baptised 12th December 1813 at Mitcham, Surrey, son of Edward Feridge and Maria. In 1841, Edward Farage age 61, and Maria were living in Carshalton where Edward was a brickmaker. Edward Ferridge married Maria Clark at Saint John The Baptist, Croydon, Surrey on 1st April 1804. Edward Ferridge was baptised in Mitcham, Surrey 28th November 1779, son of Daniel. So it looks like the surname Farage devolved from Ferridge. If there are any Huguenot ancestors, they may be through the Savory family. Harry Farage or Farrage was son of Daniel Savory Farage, and he married Gladys Schrod in Bromley in 1927. In 1911, he was a stockbroker's clerk.

Through this marriage Nigel Farage is related to artist Rodrigo Moynihan (1910-1990); I researched the latter's ancestry a couple of years ago for a member of the family, and was amused to find the Farage link.

On the 1911 census image it is 4 children the red line covers over the 4 making it look like 11 at first glance.
