Notes: 1901 Canada Census for Culloden, Digby Co, Nova Scotia:

8 71 Farnsworth Thos. M Head M Sep 22 1856 44
9 71 Farnsworth Laleah F Wife M Dec 6 1866 34
10 71 Farnsworth Emma F Daughter S Jan 9 1892 9
11 71 Farnsworth Lizzie F Daughter S May 11 1890 10
12 71 Farnsworth Handford M Son S Oct 20 1893 7
13 71 Farnsworth Blanch F Daughter S Jun 2 1896 4

1881 Canada Census for Sandy Cove, Digby County shows the following POSSIBILITY!!! Not certain, as yet:

Thomas FARNESWORTH M Male English 24 New Brunswick Fisherman Methodist
Emer FARNESWORTH M Female Irish 23 Nova Scotia Baptist

IF above IS correct Thomas, then he is the son of Job Farnsworth and his wife, Lucy.....

Thomas H. Farnsworth listed aged 34 and married in 1891 Census, Culloden, house carpenter
Wife, Mary L., listed as aged 24
Daughter, Emma J., listed as aged 1.

Same location, same year:

Jobe FARNESWORTH M Male English 51 Nova Scotia Cooper Methodist
Lucy FARNESWORTH M Female English 56 Nova Scotia Methodist
Morrel FARNESWORTH Male English 27 Nova Scotia Farmer Methodist
John FARNESWORTH Male English 25 New Brunswick Fisherman Methodist
George FARNESWORTH Male English 21 New Brunswick Fisherman Methodist
Mary FARNESWORTH Female English 20 New Brunswick Methodist
Dryus FARNESWORTH Male English 18 New Brunswick Fisherman Methodist

And, we find Thomas listed with the Job/Lucy family in 1871 and 1881 Census records.

Question is... is the Thomas Farnsworth in Culloden in 1911 the same Thomas? He's listed as b. Aug-1850, with a wife, Orlind, b. Sep-1869, only three children in that household as follows:
Clifford, b. Jul-1905, William, b. Jul-1906, and Annie, b. Sep-1907.

A POSSIBLE child of Thomas and Mary's is Lloyd Handspiker, b. Apr-1901. He was, by some accounts at least, born a Farnsworth, and later adopted by the James Venning Handspiker family.

IF a son named Lloyd was b. to Thomas and Mary Lalia, then here is at least ONE relationship...

Olive Daley, sister of Crawford Ross Daley
Crawford father of Mary Lalia Daley who married Thomas Farnsworth
Olive, married Nathan Stark, son of Thomas Stark and Jane Handspiker
Nathan Stark's sister was Sarah Jane Stark, who was married to
James Venning Handspiker (adoptive parents of Lloyd Farnsworth - if
such be the case).

Olive (Daley) Stark, aunt to Mary Laleah (Daley) Farnsworth
Olive's sister-in-law married James V. Handspiker

So, if this pans out, Olive's sister-in-law adopted her nephew. Needless to say, quite a tight group in Culloden!
