Hello

I'm new to the forum and hope someone might be able to throw some light on my somewhat disreputable 3xgreatgrandfather Archibald William Stuart Farquharson.

Archibald is the illegitimate son of "a gentleman of Finzean named Farquharson" and a woman called Agnes Baxter. Archibald was born in 1814 in Kings Lynn in Norfolk. 

He lead a very colourful life with a variety of professions! ( more later) finally being convicted of fraud and sent to Bermuda in 1857!

My question is who was his father? Thankyou in anticipation of help

Hi, I too am very curious about this man who was my 3rd great great grandfather  I have spent years trying to find the answer to your question  I have my suspicions but cannot prove anything. May I ask you name?

Kind Regards Alistair Farquharson
