  • Notes 
    • The birth registration for her first child, a stillborn baby, the mother, Sarah, is named Sarah Traleau or Tralean, born in France. The child's father is James A. Farrell, a tailor, born in Cambridge. At the birth registration for her second child, Henry Wilson Farrell, the mother, Sarah, is named Sarah Frohan, born in Nova Scotia. The father is again James A. Farrell, a tailor, this time born in Cambridgeport. At the death registration of her third child, Frances Sarah (Farrell) Christophel, her mother's maiden name was recorded as Trahan. The question arises if these are all the same mother? Was Nova Scotia considered part of France?

      Census records say: 1900, Sarah F. Farrell was born Nov. 1872 in Canada (Fr.), meaning French Canada. Her father was born in Canada (Fr.) and her mother in Canada (Eng.)

      In 1910, Sarah Farrell and her parents were born in Nova Scotia. It was reported that James and Sarah Farrell had been married 12 years and that she is the mother of 3 and 3 are living. So even though there is a gap in the birth years of her children, it appears they were all she had to that point, and since she was married 12 years, she is the mother of all the children.

      In 1920 Sarah F. Farrell was born in Nova Scotia. 1930 Sarah F. Farrell was a widow, born in Canada.
