Who was Edward Carter of Leeds, died 1870
« on: Friday 26 June 09 16:27 UTC (UK) »
  Martha Allison, d/o Isaac and Margaret Allison of Brigham, Cumberland was born ca. 1842.   In 1861 and 1871 she was a dressmaker.  In the first quarter of 1879, a Martha Allison married Edward Carter in Leeds.  My Martha Allison was a widow, surname Carter, back living with her family in 1871.  Edward Carter, age 54, died in the 3rd quarter of 1870.  I'm figuring that they all hook up, even though Martha was, at 26 years younger than Edward, half his age.  Maybe Martha moved from Brigham to(which community in) Leeds to work in a dress factory?  as a housekeeper?  and met Carter and married.  Is Edward Carter in the 1861 Census?  Would he have needed a housekeeper?  How did they get together?  I was wondering where I might look, other than purchasing their marriage registration, to see if that was my Martha.  She went on, in 1875, to marry James Greggains. They are my great-grandparents.

Why have you started another thread?

This has been asked on your other threads!

Martha Carter is a widow with father Isaac Allison in 1871, isnt she (if I remember rightly) -  therfore could not have married Edward Carter in 1879.

Sorery,
you are right, married in 1870, hit the wrong key.  I thought maybe people looked up from and for specific regions and I might hit another researcher.  I'll close it if you think it was inappropriate
