Julia Warren Farr née Ord (14 August 1824 – 21 April 1914) was an English-born philanthropist in South Australia. HistoryJulia was a daughter of Major Sir Robert Hutchinson Ord (1789–1828), of Greensted Hall, Essex and his wife Elizabeth Ord (née Blagrave).[1] She married (Anglican) Rev. George Henry Farr, Vicar of St. Wenn’s Church in Cornwall, in 1846 after a four-year engagement, the delay being occasioned by her parents' disapproval, the Ords being Plymouth Brethren and in much wealthier circumstances.[1] In 1854 he was offered the position of headmaster of St Peter's College, Adelaide, which he promptly accepted, hoping the drier climate of South Australia would improve her delicate health. George and Julia, their six-year-old daughter Eleanora and Julia's half-sister Edith Bayley sailed to South Australia aboard Daylesford, arriving in Adelaide in July 1854 after a long four-month voyage during which an outbreak of measles affected the children, the ship ran out of provisions, and the captain, missing the entrance to Gulf St Vincent, nearly ran the ship aground at the Murray Mouth.[1] Their first few weeks did not augur well for life in the new colony: the ship's Adelaide agent had gone broke and the captain had to borrow money from passengers before he could continue to Melbourne. The only transportation they could find at the port was an old cart that broke down in Hindley Street and the women had to put up for the night at a temperance hotel (George had been taken to the college the previous day by the government health officer). The next day was Sunday and Julia Farr and Edith Bayley were expected at the 11 am service at the College chapel, but could not find a cab and had to walk the two miles of what must have been rudimentary, and possibly muddy, tracks in their best clothes. The Farrs' accommodation was not yet habitable and they had to board with Mrs Baye, the college matron.[1] Farr was concerned at the plight of orphaned girls who had been committed to the Destitute Asylum, an unsatisfactory situation in many ways. She organised a group of like-minded friends and founded the Church of England's Orphan Home for Girls near the corner of Carrington Street and East Terrace, previously a German hospital,[2] opened in October 1861.[3][4] The girls were looked after, fed, clothed and educated to the age of 14, then most found employment as servants to middle-class households. The first secretary of the Home was H. Kent Hughes, and matron Mrs. Sarah Birt. The Home was relocated to Fullarton Road, Mitcham in 1912. Farr was later concerned with alleviating problems for people with intractable physical problems, and set about establishing the Home for Incurables. A committee was formed in 1878 and a house on Fisher Street, Fullarton was purchased. Over the years, as demand increased, new buildings were added, and wings were appended to those.[5] The complex was demolished in 2011.[6] Julia Farr died at her residence on Barnard street, North Adelaide, after an extended period of ill-health. Her daughter Julia, granddaughter Mary Clift, and great-granddaughter Joan Clift followed her in succession as committee members of the Orphan Home. Other interestsThe Farrs purchased a property near Tea Tree Gully and built there a holiday house, dubbed "Brightlands".[5] Dr. William T. Angove initially used Brightlands' extensive cellars to mature his wines before moving to the St. Agnes property. Recognition
FamilyJulia Warren Ord (1824–1914) married George Henry Farr (2 July 1819 – 7 February 1904) on 5 February 1846. Their children included:
It is likely that Muriel Farr OBE (1914–1968), who may have been an Orphan Home committee member in 1919,[14] was unrelated. She was organizing secretary for the Australasian National League, secretary for the Wattle Day League, activist for equal pay for women, the Liberal Union, and the (later Royal) Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.[15] She was awarded an OBE in 1918.[16] Muriel was a daughter of Edmund Arnold Farr ( –1957) who married Mildred Elizabeth Booker on 25 April 1905; he was the eldest son of Joseph Farr of Kings Walden, Hertfordshire, and a manager at G. & R. Wills & Co., then partner Charles Birks & Co. Edith Jane Stewart Bayley (George's half-sister, died in London on 8 June 1876) married George Wright Hawkes (16 September 1828 – 5 January 1908)[17] on 18 December 1854.[18] Further reading
