Trying to find Farrier

My branch of the Farrier family originated in Devon (there are connections with Moretonhampstead and Great Torrington, and later with Dartmouth). Joseph Farrier (1833-1891), son of Thomas Farrier (1796-1852 Moretonhampstead) and Jane née Leach (1800-1842), settled in the Rudge / Pattingham area of the Midlands and married Mary Inett (1832-1916). The other Farriers remained in Devon - William, Elizabeth, Thomas, Henry - and William's son William Henry emigrated to Australia. Joseph Farrier had six children: Mary Ann, Sarah Jane, Jesse Inett, Eleanor Helena, Annie Lydia, William George. Sarah Jane was my great grandmother. I would be very happy to hear about descendants of these Farriers anywhere in the world.
