Yeah its certainly a fun family lol. John does a similar vanishing trick... He's in Wales all his life, but barely with Mary by the looks of things then on 18th September 1879 he is present at his brother Benjamin's death in Cardiff, but his address is 15 Temple Street London
Then in 1881 he seems to be in Lyme Regis, Dorset
i havent found him in 1891, but my distant relation says "Possible John Farmer 1891 - If you do a search for John Farmer 1851 but born in Radnorshire it shows a John living with a Henry Lyne in Blaenavon. He is lodging with a Benjamin James both Harness Makers but Benjamin is shown as born in Brecon. I wonder if this was an error and the place of births should of been the other way round. Also Martha married in Blaenavon and her mother was from there plus Ann Farmer lived with a Ann James at one point. "
but i'm not sure on that on.
And still i haven't found his death registration though by 1899 he is lol
Thanks again for your help, you're great - i was trawling through hundreds of possibilities on ancestry.com till now.

Just another big thank you as it looks like you've been spot on with your census searches and also we seem to have confirmation that Mary Ann is Mary Jane.
Just had a hint for Mary Jane's sister Emma as per the censuses you suggested and someone has a family tree with her in and has Emma's husband as Frederick Symes, making her Emma Symes - and thats a match for the 2 witnesses i mentioned earlier at John and Mary Ann's wedding.
:)
An amazing bit of detective work on your part
Thankyou again
