Thanks for the census postings.
I will have to spend a bit of time later looking for the sister Ivy connection.
Thanks again

Not sure about the border crossing as I have no record of a sister Ivy.
Im not ruling it out as his father remarried in USA and had at least 1 son William in 1912.

Thank you so much for the info. The passenger lists are def him as I have the O,' Malley connection. The marriage also looks right.
If you can see any USA/Canadian census for Walter and Alice Mary I would be grateful if you could let me have the details.
Thanks again
Christine

Hi
I have now discovered that Walter went to USA to be with his father (William James Farrell) and half brother. I know he travelled to Boston in April 1923 and have the record.
I have found a marriage in Ontario Canada on Ancestry to Alice Mary Conn but dont have the subs to look at it. I can see that the parents names are right and wonder if it is my Walter.
There is also a Boston passenger list for Walter and his father which I cannot look at.
Could someone kindly have a look at them for me and let me have the details.
Many thanks
Christine

Many thanks to all 3 of you

Hi
Could someone please have a look for Walter Farrell born 1902 in Blackburn.
His parents were seperated. I have his mother Ann(1874) and sister Ann(1908) together in Blackburn. His father William(1876) was in America.
This family have been mis-transcribed as Tarrell, and Farrar in the past. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
