Hi scouterdave. I have an Edward William Farmer, b1873 Shoreditch, he became a cabinet maker d1945 in Leyton. My earliest is Edward Farmer 1769 - 1838 died in Curtain Road. His son, also Edward Farmer b1815 in Shoreditch became a Wood Turner, he died 1900 in Shoreditch Workhouse.
I've come across a Benjamin Farmer who was a Cabinet maker in the 1830's. He lived in Ivy lane, Shoreditch, is he one of yours. I can't connect him to any of mine.
Cheers
