I'd like to find more about my Farr relations. Here's what I have...

John Harrison Farr (wife unknown) children:
- Evelyn Farr b. 1871 m. Francis RIGGALL d. 1953 (6 children)
- Euginie Farr
- Walter Farr
- (Mr. Unknown) Farr

I have no information whatsoever on Euginie or Walter. Evelyn is my great-great grandmother. I have more information on the Unknown FARR's family...

He was married to a woman named Lidia. He died about 1913 in a barroom brawl, and she died in childbirth half a year later. The three eldest daughters stayed in Canada, one of them keeping the infant Walter. The younger four daughters (ages 5-10) boarded the doomed Empress of Ireland to go live with their grandparents in England, and perished May 28, 1914. (Their tickets were purchased in Regina, Saskatchewan.)

Baby Walter Farr became a war correspondant (during WWII, I assume) and married a French woman named Lousie, and lived in Paris.

If anyone can add to this, I'd love to hear from you.
