Alexander and Isabella had another son called William born 8th Jan 1831 who I assume died in infancy.
In 1861 Alexander still lived at East Clyth and William was staying next door with his children.

Hello Thomas,
I was very excited to read your search on the message board. I have only just started to explore my family name in Wick and straight away have a feeling I may have struck lucky! I am searching my grandfathers line. He was Alexander Farquhar Farmer, born in Wick and moved to East London Docks area, where he died aged about 36. He had several children. My mother rembered her cousins from Wick visiting them in London, I suppose this was back in the 1920's. I know this is not a verified link but from what you know, could this possibly be the same line?
Jess.
