Welcome to RootsChat!

Using FreeBMD, I can see 10 births of Carrott, with a mother's maiden name of Bradley, between 1930 and 1954. All in Lincoln Registration District.

This looks to be Albert's marriage?

June qtr 1929
Newark district     vol 7b, page 1049

Carrott, Albert H
Bradley, May


Unfortunately, there are 4 possible births for Albert, although this one looks more likely?

March qtr 1910
Lincoln district     vol 7a, page 503

Carrott, Albert


Albert's marriage certificate will give his father's name - and you can then check this against the 1911 census?

Yes I have that information thank you I can't seem to find his D.O.B or D.O.D to find his parents.

It's not unusual for the dates of birth to be a bit out on the death certificate!
It depends whether the informant knew?!


The family are down as Hurst on the 1911 census!

I've been doing some research on a Facebook post.

There was a George H H CARROTT who married in 1892 to Charlotte APPLEBY.  They appear as HURST in 1911 too.  Both of these HURST/CARROTTs were born in Stainton le Vale so I expect they were brothers. (not checked)

Apparently, someone had found he joined the army in Newark in 1928.

NOTE: Date of bap was actually 22 Dec 1910

So it was!
Oops! I was trying to do too many things at once!
Previous post amended.

The HURST name appeared to be derived from variable spelling of HEWIS HUIST over the years as this was the baptism of Albert's grandfather (3rd on the left)

Not what I was expecting

Spilsby Petty Sessions 26 April 1847
"An order in bastardy was, on the application of Maria CARROTT, made on John LANCASTER, of West Keal, for the payment of 1s per week towards the maintenance of her bastard child."

From http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/bastardy_1847.html

EDIT:  Maria CARROTT's father, Richard CARRIT married Mary HEWIT at Stickford 24 Oct 1814

That marriage is here (top right) http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=629818&iid=286906

Some additional records from Findmypast

Children of Arthur William and Eliza:
Ethell - bapt 28 Feb 1896 - South Willingham
Richard Hurst - b 17 Aug 1898 - bapt 22 Dec 1910 - Scothern
(i.e. same day as Albert)

When Albert joined the Royal Tank Corps on 13th March 1928, he gave his birth as 30th January 1909.
A note was added to say that he joind the Lincolnshire Regiment on 28th April 1932.

Did you say you had his marriage certificate for Father's name?
