Hi,
I am researching the CARR family from Norfolk.
SOPHIA CARR was born in Norwich in c. 1829 and married into the HARCOURT family.
I know that Sophia's father was WILLIAM and her mother was ANN and I've also got information from the Census 1841 - 1891.
Interested to know if anyone else is looking into this family.
Willing to share info.

Hi ferret1,
I only have one CARR in my family tree, so far, and she is Sarah Carr born about 1778.
She married James Mortimer who was born 1772 in Great Melton, Norfolk.
Their son George was baptised in Marlingford, Norfolk in 1810, and they were registered as living in Marlingford on the 1841 census. Sarah died there in 1846.
I would be interested to know if Sarah links in with any of your Carr family.
Regards,

Hi Leodis44,
I haven't got a Sarah CARR on my tree, but then mine only goes back to William b. c. 1786
I suppose it's possible that he was Sarah's brother?
I will keep your information on file and get back in touch if anything comes up.
Good luck in your research, Ferret1

Anyone interested in the Carr family of Weasenham?
Teddy
-
Post some details ...
-
As the family lived in the two villages for over 300 years and married into most of the other local families............
I only posted this to ask if anyone had found a connection to Weasenham, as I have lots of information on the Carr family of Weasenham. I have not, sadly, got time to post all of the information on here.
The family were millers.

Hi Rococo,
I am descended from Sophia Carr and Samuel Harcourt, they are my 3x great grandparents.
Sophia Carr was born in about 1827 in Catton, Norfolk. Her father was William, a shoemaker and he lived in Norwich. He was born in about 1786 in Norfolk. He died after 1851. His wife was Ann (don't know surname) and she was born in Norfolk in about 1796.
William and Ann had at least 5 children:
William b. c. 1826
Eliza b. c. 1826
Sophia b. c. 1829
Harriot b. c. 1830
Amelia b. c.1834
This is all the information I have at the moment.
Where do you fit into the family tree?

Looking at the 1851 index.
William & Ann were 65 and 60 and working in the shoe trade, William was born in Heigham and Ann was born in Norwich.
Samuel & Sophia were 28 & 22 with young Samuel William aged 1. Samuel was a bookbinder & Sophia was a shoebinder. All were born in Norwich.

Hi Everyone,
Been reading this board, i live in Norwich do any of you want any photographs of churches, houses, addresses etc?
If you do post me the details and i will get onto it for you.
Probably a useless piece of information but you never know. I grew up in Old Costessey, Norwich there was a family of Carr on West End and i believe are still there today (1963-2005). You often see them driving their horse / pony and trap through the village especially on weekends.

Hello Jackie,
that's a very kind offer, thank you. If you fancy a stroll around St Edmund's cemetery (camera-in-hand ready to snap any CARR gravestones) the next time that you're visiting Old Costessey, I for one would be interested!
Regards

Hello All,
William Carr was a shoemaker.
Samuel Harcourt was a bookbinder in the 1851 census, and indeed remained so until his death in 1874. Sophia nee Carr was a Shoe binder, although by the 1881 census she is a Lodging House Keeper at 11 Pottergate Street, Norwich. There is a very good photo of the house on:

Hello List,
I am a descendant of a Ellen "Ellenor" Carr b c 1672
probably Tittleshall, Norfolk...
d 1752
She married a John Glover from that area.
Her father name is John Carr.
I also have in the next generation a Sarah Carr
c 1686-1748, who married Ellenor's son Robert Glover c 1703. He may have been a cousin???
Her father was from Great Massingham, no known name.
Can anyone please advise me if have any of this families infromation? Thank you David

Hi David,
Wow - you've done really well to get back that far.
I'm back as far as William b. abt 1786. I don't know where exactly, but it was somewhere in Norfolk.
So no obvious connection to my Carr's - but you never know!

Thank you Mr /MS Ferret 1
I have trouble with the female lines; those name changes etc, but my other lines, Glover, Campbell, Hamilton, Shakespear, Pascoe....etc... are way back to the middle ageswith out much interuption.
It has helped me that a lot of them had land and titles and left wills...I have found old wills the best source of information, usually listing most children and often hints to cousins..

Hi
i descend from Matthew Carr born 1808 in Lynn. He was a licenced Virtualler. He had a brother Thomas Carr born 1814 in Lynn. Thomas was a master marine in 1861 and by 1881 had taken over the pub from Matthew after he died.
I do not know their parents.
cheers

To TeddyBear,
I'm not sure whether you still have any information on the Carr family of Weasenham? This is my family and my Dad is visiting this week to see what he can find out about the family. It'd be great if you have any information that could help him start his search?
Many thanks,
Joanna

Sorry, just seen this.
If you are still interested, please drop me a private message. :)

Hello everyone.
My 6th great grandfather was George Carr, born 1761 in Thurton, Norfolk, and married Mary Mayes in 1781 in Bergh Apton. They remained in Bergh Apton for many years from then on.

Hi Jackie,
I think I may know who you mean. My great uncle lived on West End for many years before he died a few years ago.
