That is all really fascinating, thank you so much. I will order the birth cert for Ellen Mattravers and find out her date of birth, if it's Jan 19th I'm in business.. All these families are so entwined. I think I need to hire a cottage in the Forest for a few days and try to unpick it all. I've been pouring over the 1901 trying to find William/Henry Farr, misspellings etc but no joy yet.
I'm wondering how I can find out exactly where Walnut Tree Cottage in Joyford was/is. The cottage my mother remembers visiting in the 1950s was at the bottom of Joyford Hill near the water spout.
Thank you again, I'd got really stuck on this but now I'm completely re-enthused.
