William FARREN in 1851 & 1871 in Coventry

[Judy M]

I am looking for the family of William FARREN, ribbon weaver b c 1810 Coventry and wondered if SKS might be able to help.

In 1871 William & his wife Phoebe b c 1812 Coventry were living 4 West Street Coventry ( Coventry Holy Trinity - All saints)(They were also in Holy Trinity in 1881 & 1891)

Children that I know of:
Rebecca 1832
Henry 1833
Jane 1835
Elizabeth 1836
William 1839
Walton 1840
Maria

Any help appreciated :)

Here they are in the 1861 census of Holy Trinity, Coventry:

PRO Ref: RG9/2209 (I think folio 3, page 1 - page has bits missing!!)
Schedule 8, 6 High Street

William FARREN Head Mar 51 Silk Weaver Coventry
Phebe FARREN Wife Mar 48 Silk Winder Bailey (?) Warwickshire
Maria FARREN Daur Unm 9 Silk Filler Coventry

Phebe's place of birth definitely begins with a B but not knowing the area the rest is difficult to decipher.

Hope this helps.

Thank you SO much for this!
Confirmation of dau Maria , I'll chase up her birth cert now! Poor little mite ..into the workforce at 9 years old.
From what I have read of the industry, it was very hard for a family to make ends meet.
