Dear Dani

Thank you so much for your email.

Unfortunately the only other information I have on that side of the family is the following:

Dorothy Aida Farr had a sister called Mona Farr.
Their father was Henry Farr and I think their mother was Edna Farr.
They had a cousin, George, who was the editor of the East London Despatch newspaper.
They also had a cousin Desmond Farr who was a Commander in the SA navy.

Does this help?

Best regards,

Carri
