Who's the dad of George CARTER 1831 Paulton

[Laura75]

Thank you Ray and Trees!

I've only been following the Carter / Gullifords of Paulton for a week. Two weeks ago my father showed me his Grandmothers marriage certificate, complete with her fathers name on it. Breakthrough! But all it did was lead to all these Paulton Carter's.

Trees, you say that Jacob/Sarah possibly had another son, Henry, based on his marriage certificate. He marries a Keziah. But is this the same Henry / Keziah that Ray is also speaking of?

Thank you for the information on the 1841 and 1881 Census, I'd not seen that before.

Thank you, also, for Ruth. I didn't know about her.

I knew that Jacob/Sarah had a Christmas wedding (188 years next week, congratulations!) but hadn't seen the Witnesses. That's added to the potential mystery of Sarah's background. I think John ASHMAN might be her Grandfather. I need to find people who are researching Jacob/Sarah. 

I'm assuming it'll be practically impossible to get back further with Jacob Carter, given that there are two of them, and being so similar? Family History is a new endeavour for me.

Ray, I've read another of older (2009) thread on the Paulton Carters. I'll have a look for others. Thanks for tip.

I'd better remove the BADGERS from my tree!

I have learnt, however, that FH keeps you up past your bedtime, and sometimes with excellent results.

I had to add Ruth CARTER to my Ancestry Tree, even though she's not really going anywhere! Then, well, I couldn't help but follow a hint, I mean, you have to, right?

There, on the 1881 Census, is 10 year old Edward J HAWKINS, my Great Grand Uncle. I'm SO happy, I had no idea what happened to him when his parents died. My Great Grandmother was shipped off to her other Aunts, Martha and Ann CARTER, but I'd never even heard of Ruth!

Thank you SO much Trees, you've made my day!

Good luck with your search Laura.  Pity you don't have the Badgers in your tree, now that is a family with intrigue!! Here is a very long forum on our Carters:  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=401090.0

With all the Carters around having children of the same names it is difficult to keep track of them all. I think the Henry Ray mentions is the Henry son of Jacob and Martha born 1841 he is with his father in 1861 RG 9/1679 fo117 p34 while the Henry I think is son of Jacob and Sarah is with his wife in 1861 RG 9/1679 fo148 p24 Jacob and Martha had a daughter Keziah in 1826
Both families marry into the Dando family just to add to the confusion!    fun isn't it?

Jacob who married Sarah Guliford was born about 1801 he is on the 1841,1851 and 1861 censuses
(their Henry? born 1829 married Keziah Dando)

Jacob who married Maria(DANDO) was born 1809 son of Edward and Hester he is on 1841,1851 and 1861 (Their daughter Elizabeth married a Charles DANDO and Jacob's sister Grace married Benjamine Dandoi)
Jacob who married Martha Hook was born about 1787 he is on 1841,1851 and 1861 censuses
(luckily not a Dando in sight ...yet)

Ask if you want the census numbers etc


Hello again Ray I thought we had put the Carters in the mews for a while its good to blow the cobwebs off once again though isn't it

[Trees]

....I think John ASHMAN might be her Grandfather.....   

Judging by the number of marriages John Ashman witnessed I think he was the parish clerk at some time You may find this small item on my web site of interest about the work of the parish clerk in case he was
