Hi Mary,
Does your cousin Florence have a Thompson Farren b. abt. 1877 to Michael & Margaret Farren in New Brunswick, Cananda?They are listed in the 1881 Canadian Census in Sussex, Kings, New Brunswick.The family eventually moved to Aroostook County, Maine.In adulthood, Thompson moved to Providence, RI and married someone from RI, but the Maine State Archives (on line search) lists two bride names for the same marriage date of 6/26/1912.They must have come to Maine to get married.
I'm trying to find out if there is a connection between Michael Farren (whose parents were born in Ireland) and a Hugh b. abt 1809 & Mary Farren b. abt. 1811 who sailed from the port Londonderry to New Brunswick in 1834 aboard the vessel Daniel O'Connell.They were accompanied by Cicely Farren, b. abt. 1818 (perhaps Hugh's sister).The Provincial Archives list these Farrens from Donegal, Ireland.
Anything connecting???
