Hi everyone,

Last year you all helped me when I hit brick wall after brick wall with my family tree. With your help I knocked down the walls.

I need your help again please I'm doing my boyfriends family tree for him and have started hitting the brick walls again. I have found a few family trees with William Carter with he's parents on but they all have conflicting information. I can't find he's birth record or on Census before he's marriage.

Please can you work your magic again,



* William Carter
* Birth 1842 in Havering, Essex, England
* Father David Carter (Carpenter)

Married 15th Aug 1862 Bow Middlesex (have Marriage Cert)

# Kezia Humphries
# Birth Jan 1844 in Dunmow, Essex, England
# Death Jul 1889 in Greater London, London, Surrey, United Kingdom
* Father Henry Humphries (Church Clerk)

I'm looking for information before 1862.

Thank you all

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 3 Feb 2011 14:42

on this free site


http://www.ancestorhunt.com/mormon_church_records.htm

when you open up any census page you will see in the top right hand corner they are a further search facility in a green box



Find more records by searching on the
updated FamilySearch site. Click here...


click on that and you will get more information

That is all I could find though

Ann have you ever ordered a disc......or do you know what information
the disc hold

AnnCardiff

AnnCardiff Report 3 Feb 2011 15:25

no I haven't but my understanding is that you can go to any Mormon church and they hold more detailed records there and that you can view or purchase

Ann has been a great help with William Spouse side of the family but can anyone knock down the brick wall I keep hitting with William Carter.

Just so you don't waste your time I have loads of information after he's marriage.

I'm looking for birth record, parents and census entries for 1941/1951/1961

chrissiex Report 4 Feb 2011 01:08

is his place of birth in censuses after he is married consistently Havering?

there's no William Carter that age with Havering given as place of birth in 1851 for instance

jax

jax Report 4 Feb 2011 01:15

I grew up married and had first child in Havering so Romford is the main town for that area

jax

chrissiex

chrissiex Report 4 Feb 2011 01:18

but nothing showing for Romford either

the 1881 Ann of green gables posted shows Havering, I just wondered whether Theresa would tell us what other censuses say since you say you have them Theresa, you having them does us no good, and no point in us looking them up if you have them .......................

Then again there is this death but as it does not give the age ??

I do not think this is the right family fathers occupation in 1851 farmer of 20 acres bit different from a carprnter and Elmstead is not anywhere near Havering

chrissiex

chrissiex Report 4 Feb 2011 01:55

Yup, I'd already checked that one out and discarded him because of the occupation ................

jax Report 4 Feb 2011 02:05

The father David could well be made up just for the marriage record. Strangely enough my gt grandmother had a carpenter as a father and he did'nt exist .

A thought that certainly came to mind ... especially considering the bride's father's occupation ... when making up a father, why not make up a New Testament trade to go with, lol?
