Thank you all for your help and suggestions,
I have been researching My family tree for many years and still unable to find out about two people of interest, I am interested in all of them, anything else anyone may have info on would be a bonus, I have two online trees with ancestry and findmypast, fully loaded with My research so far, although not everything and nowhere near completed,
to recap, in brief,
I am trying to find out what happened to
JOSEPH MANNERS born 1842 approx
MARTHA CARTER born 1861 who was the mother of William Isaac Carter, ( my great great grandfather) have birth certificate,
William Isaac Carter was raised by his grandparents, Isaac and Eliza Carter, beach farm, bitton, upton cheney,A Carter family home, Martha Carter also lived there, but disappears from 1881 with no further tracability,
I am fairly sure of I searched all records currently available,
Martha Carter is recorded on William Isaac Carter birth certificate, no known father,
Church Baptism, states Joseph Manners as the Father of william Issac Carter,
there is also a record from the same church a few weeks later saying that Joseph Marners Carter was the father , I have found no other information on this person, so believed to be a mistake,
there is a church inscription suggesting Martha sister Dinah Carter is the mother,of William Issac Carter I think this is a mistake, as Dinah Carter married a Mr Coles and had a son name William Isaac Coles,
There are also documents suggesting Martha Carter marred a Mr Webb, but after a detailed search, only a Mary Webb was found, was this Martha
also a unknown significant event happened in approx 1895 as most of the Carter family had simply vanished, and no longer in the known area, I have managed to trace a handful living in Wales approx year 1900, again some moved back to Bitton and Bath,in the early 1900s I am from Bitton,
The Carter family core is large, however no one knows much history, in fact not many know / knew of each other, so not much info available there,
Its been a real struggle and have taken many years, for me I really need to find out more, especially about the two people, one of the big reasons is that in my research I may have two Carter families merged together, its has been very frustrating not to mention costly,
any help would be fantastic,
very kind regards
Nathan Carter
