Hoping for some assistance to determine if there is a problem and if so to help sort.
The possible arises as I have been trying to locate William in the 1851 Census and thought I had located him BUT he records his birthplace as Battle.
I am now worried I have the correct William and also if I am correct with his siblings. I though to place my challenge on the forum and hope for some assistance.
William is a son of George Carrick & Mary Carter. George and Mary married St Bartholomew Burwash 23 Sep 1793. George was a Butcher and it seems he was rather mobile.
The first child I can locate for the couple is the William Carrick bap 02 Feb 1794 St Bartholomew Burwash mentioned above. William married 15 Apr 1816 Battle to Philadelphia Philmer.
Next child is Mary born 25 Jul 1795 Speldhurst, Kent. Mary married Henry Wallis in Rotherfield in 1815.
Then George born 16 Oct 1796 Speldhurst.
Jane born 22 Jul 1798 Speldhurst
Hannah bap 04 May 1800 Dallington, Sussex
Richard bap 02 Mar 1802 Dallington
In the 1841 census William now a widower is at Flimwell, Ticehurst and a servant living with 7 of his children. [ HO107/1109/Book: 7/28 p 10 Ticehurst Sussex]. The details are correct as far as they go.
The 1851 Census I located [and which raised a question for me] (HO107/1639/87 p 6) is where George is married again and living with his second wife Mary and his son Edwin. Edwin was a baby when William's first wife died and was listed in the 1841 census.
The conundrum for me is that this William says he was born in Battle.
Thoughts on firstly the baptisms and births of George & Mary Carrick's children then secondly is this the correct William?
