Possible relation to Katie Elizabeth Farquharson

Henry Richard Farquharson was born in 1857 at Brighton, Sussex, to Henry James Farquharson and his wife Fanny Marcia. He was educated at Eton and at Jesus College, Cambridge. In 1878, he married Constance Farquharson, daughter of James John Farquharson, who appears to have been a relative. They settled at his estate, Eastbury Park, at Tarrant Gunville, Dorset, about six miles from Blandford, and ten miles from the Druitt home at Wimborne Minster. Tragically, Farquharson died at sea on 17 April 1895 while returning from a visit to tea and cocoa plantations he owned in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
