Emma Farr was married in Dublin I n 1864. He father was Richard Farr, farmer. A witness at the wedding was William Henry Farr. The newspaper account refers to Emma as the youngest daughter of the late Richard Farr, Torquay, Devonshire.

Could anyone please help out with this family. Thanks.

Emma seems to stay in Ireland and have large family.
Richard could be son of John Farr of Slapton, and wife Jane according to a tree on Family search. Richard was apprenticed in 1801 so that indicates perhaps from a poor family.
Emma a stationer and her youngest daughter on 1901 census Ireland, she is deceased I think by 1911 as daughter is a visitor in some ones house.

How did Emma get to Ireland?
Good luck.
