  • William and Mary Jane (Smith) Faris were married in Kells, Co. Meath 26 Jan 1837. The Family was numerated in the 1841 Census living in Cloggy, with William listed as 32 yrs old working as a bleacher/farmer. Two daughters, Bessy and Jane Letitia were reported as 2 and 3 years old. Mary Jane Faris is buried in the churchyard at Christ Church Kildallon March 1900. There are Faris families numerated in the 1901 and 1911 censuses; Alexander and his wife Margaret lived in Cloggy while John Alexander lived nearby in Corr. Are either of these Faris men, sons or grand sons of William and Mary Jane Faris? One of Alexander Faris's daughters who died young is also buried in the churchyard at Christ Church Kildallon.

  • Thanks for reaching out,

    I descend from MaryJane's younger brother George Robert Keating Smith. Love to learn your lineage from MaryJane and WIlliam. I live in Connecticut in the United States. A couple years ago I corresponded with Arvilla Faris who lives in Utah and learned a little more about that side of the family. I'd also like to know if you have any stories about our ancestors. I can be reached at laurachobbs@gmail.com.

    Your cousin, Laura
