Documentation to prove the birth location and date has not been found. However, there are multiple points of positive comparison and no inconsistencies in identifying Faith with the Beeford baptism. Additionally, there are autosomal DNA matches connecting Faith's descendants to descendants of her brother Robert and sister Mary at the expected levels.
Faith Ann Robinson was baptised in Beeford, Yorkshire on 9 Nov 1837 and Faith Ann Agar reported a birth month and year of Oct 1837 on the 1900 census. She was the daughter of William and Mary Robinson and their family in Beeford is consistent with a family group that disappears from Yorkshire when a matching group arrives in Reach/Prince Albert, Durham, Ontario, Canada (between 1839-1850, probably 1841-1843).
Faith Ann probably married William Agar in Reach/Prince Albert and several of their children were born there as evidenced by Wesleyan Methodist baptism records, census records, and the 1873 birth registration of their son Alonzo Franklin (later known as Frank).
Faith Ann, who had cancer, died in British Columbia (see BC Deaths on FamilySearch) possibly while visiting her son Ed (Edwin, later recorded as Edward) or other Robinson cousins who had migrated there. The Daily Colonist (Victoria's newspaper) recorded on February 15th, 1907: "FUNERAL SERVICES ... The body of the late Mrs. Agar, who died in this city some two weeks ago, will be sent to her home at Langdon, North Dakota, today for interment. Since her death the remains of the late Mrs. Agar, who had expressed a desire to be buried in her native town, have been lying in Hanna's undertaking parlors, for it was impossible to send the body to Dakota on account of the disorganization of the railway system."
1863-04-05 baptism of several children, note difference in handwriting from prior entries which may explain why location is inferred to be Percy instead of Port Perry, the final entry is for Faith's niece as Mary Sellars was her sister; 1871 Canadian census; 1881 Canadian census; 1900 US census
