Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone could possibly help me please? I would be so grateful for any help at all.

I'm looking for any information of a William Christie Farquharson born about 1873 in Aberdeen, Scotland, maybe on the 1901 Census.

William Christie Farquharson married one of my husband's ancestors, Mary Jane HOLCOMBE about 1897 at Woolwich. Mary Jane was born in 1873 in Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, England, to parents Robert Holcombe and Honor Podger.

I have a record of death for Honoria Holcombe on 2/3/1913 at Taunton, Somerset, England, with daughter Mary Jane Farquharson being present.

I have a 1881 Census record:

Dwelling : 57 John St
Census Place: Aberdeen St Nicholas,Aberdeen, Scotland
Sourse : FHL Film 0203443 GRO Ref Volume 168-1 EnumDist 11 Page 30

Ho. Carpenter (Master Employing One Man)
Mary Farquharson - Wife M, 44, b. Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
Jane C Farquharson - Daugh, U, 15, b. Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland

Mary H Farquharson - Daugh, 6, b. Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
James Farquharson - Son, 4, b. Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
Robina Farquharson - Daugh, 1, b. Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland

I also have an 1901 Census Record:

RG13/2275 Folio 25 Page 14
Henlade, Ruishton, Somerset

Thomas Nile, head, m, 29, Carpenter, Atherstone Lanes
Ellen Nile, wife, m, 28, Broadway-, to parents Robert Holcombe and Honor Podger.

I have a record of death for Honoria Holcombe on 2/3/1913 at Taunton, Somerset, England, with daughter Mary Jane Farquharson being present.

BUT, I cannot find Mary Jane's husband William Christie Farquharson on 1901 Census. She is not noted as a widow, so I wondered where could I find him and perhaps, any other children.

I must add that I have seen the surname written with various spellings....
Farquharson...Farqularson.....Fargularson..Farguso n etc, etc.

Can anyone possibly help with this query?

Much obliged,
