In-law line: Alfred married into the Farrow branch of the Telfer tree. His wife Jane Murray Farrow was a daughter of Charles Farrow and Elizabeth Hannah (Telfer) Farrow — hence Alfred's sons (through Jane) are grandchildren of Elizabeth Hannah Telfer. He is a non-Telfer by birth, connected to the tree through the Farrow/Telfer marriage.
