hi again - had to put children to bed, only just come back online! had another thought in tracking your William. Tried to look at the historical directories site run by university of Leicester, but unfortunately the earliest one for Herts there is 1855 - though it may be a help for later generations if you know his son's/son-in-law's trades. then I went to familyhistoryonline.net which holds a lot of parish records (transcripts) collated from family history societies around the country. Looked for a William Carter in Herts who died before 1851. There were 45! But only One in Great Amwell. details below. age could give you smaller time frame to look for his birth in neighbouring parishes? Name William CARTER Date 30 Jan 1831 Aged 49 Place Great Amwell Description St John the Baptist Denomination Anglican County code HRT good luck Lesley |
