john carr and family puzzle

[Wendy2305]

Again not all births were recorded before 1855 I have never been able to find births for some of  my Ancestors it's just one of these things ..And it gets much harder trying to trace family back also as you say you have made a great achievement ...Don't always rely on family trees without checking information yourself good luck

Rosie

To add to this I have Ancestors where none of their children's births can be found where half can be found and only 1 can be found all these in the 1830's and 40's so it is very hit and miss

As for deaths pre 1855 the best place would be the Monumental inscription either on deceased online or in the books published although with a young family and John a labourer they probably couldn't afford a headstone or a plot and he was more than likely buried in the local paupers grave

Yes Wendy Monumental Inscriptions is another great source I have gathered quite a few books over the years which has gave me a lot of information ..

[rosie17]

Hi Ryan only start a new topic if  it's a different family  as you don't want people wasting a lot of time on information you already have

Rosie

[Wendy2305]

Don't know if you want this but here's Janet's siblings all born Kilspindie

Ann Sutherland 1806
Rebecca 1816
Alexander 1817
Helen Scott 1819
Andrew 1821
John Spence 1823
Jean 1827
James 1830

Notice there are gaps where other children were probably born but their entries haven't survived and notice the name of the first daughter
