FARRAR

There was a reference to Abraham Farrer, freeholder of Pudsey, appearing in Court at Pudsey (15th September 1651). He is also listed at Pudsey Court (4th September 1661) as being one of the freeholders obliged to send their corn to Mr Calverley's mill, and not to any other mill for grinding. It would appear probable that this Abraham was the father of William, noted below.
