Hi,
I have my CARVER family as wheelwrights in Wrestlingworth from 1820 until the they must have gone out of business circa 1900. In 1820 Young Carver wheelwright is only 25 so it is probably his father John who is master wheelwright but I have no idea how to find out if this is so. Or indeed where to go for any further info on the business. I've searched A2A and Blars to no avail. Anyone got any ideas? Any suggestions gratefully received. Regards Jan

Hi,
You are looking at a small parish. It may be possible to follow the family back through parish registers.
http://www.bfhs.org.uk/ hold registers for Wrestlingworth and they are available to purchase on fiches.
You would of course need access to a fiche reader (Library may have one).
It might be possible that the LDS have them to loan at your nearest family history centre.
My experience of parish registers is that they vary in quality, legibility and the detail they contain. You may be lucky that the occupation is listed with the entry or that there is only one family of Carvers to follow back.
Happy hunting
Sue

Thanks for your thoughts Sue. It may well be useful to check the original entries in the hope that they show John Carver's occupation - thanks for the idea. The first I have of this family is John's marriage to Elizabeth Merrington in 1781 in Cockayne Hatley (a nearby parish) their first child was baptised there in 1783 and then from 1785 onwards the Carvers of Wrestlingworth are children of John and Elizabeth and their descendants - so easy to track from then on. Regards Jan
