    Williams father Alexander married Isabella Doull on the 17th Dec 1824 at Latheron.

    They lived at Carrington East Clyth in 1841:

    District: 9 Folio: 0 Page: 3
    Address: Carrington

    FARQUHAR Alexander M 40 Farmer Caithness
    FARQUHAR Isabella F 35 Caithness
    FARQUHAR Jessie F 14 Caithness
    FARQUHAR Isabella F 12 Caithness
    FARQUHAR William M 8 Birth: 01 MAY 1833 Latheron
    FARQUHAR Alexander M 5 Caithness
    FARQUHAR James M 2 Birth: 20 JAN 1838 Latheron
    FARQUHAR Donald M 10m Birth: 27 AUG 1840 Latheron

    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.

    District: 1 House: 70

    Farquhar Alexander 5 Birth: 09 NOV 1855 Wick, Caithness, Scotland
    Farquhar Jane 3 Birth: 22 APR 1857 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
    Farquhar Isabella 2 Birth: 19 NOV 1858 Wick, Caithness, Scotland

    William had further children:

    Esther Birth: 27 JUL 1860 Wick Died: 12 AUG 1866
    James Birth: 28 JUN 1862 Wick
    William Birth: 13 JUL 1864 Wick
    Alexander Birth: 25 APR 1866 Wick
    Jessie Ann Birth: 21 MAR 1868 Wick

    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.
