The family originated in Hertfordshire as best we can tell so far and I was wondering if anyone knew someone with this surname????? |

Jen Strath Posts: 122 Joined: 11th Feb 2008 Location: Australia | quotePosted at 23:29 on 10th April 2008 Could be a relation...there are various spellings 'cos in the early 1800's there was no specific spelling of names etc....everyone out here with Fary is related to the one guy who got transported for life in 1826 for stealing 2 whethers. He came from Preston south of Hitchin...hence my visit in June |
