Greetings, searching for birth info on Samuel Carter, possibly born at Stratton on the Fosse ~1710, as well as any info on his siblings. Samuel Carter married Mary Flower at nearby Chewton Mendip on 5 Feb 1732.
Samuel's possible father is a Samuel Carter, baptized at Stratton on the Fosse 24 Sept 1671. Samuel Carter the elder died at Stratton on the Fosse 11 Jan 1740/1. I am missing Samuel the elder's wife's name. Samuel the elder had a number of siblings also baptized at Stratton on the Fosse.

There are a number of records on Freereg at Stratton-on-the-Fosse, the two you mention plus another burial but no age.
Samuell CARTER Baptism 24 Sep 1671 Somerset Stratton-on-the-Fosse : St Vigor : Parish Register
Samuel CARTER Burial 11 Jan 1740/1 Somerset Stratton-on-the-Fosse : St Vigor
Samuel CARTER Burial 30 Oct 1720 Somerset Stratton-on-the-Fosse : St Vigor : Parish Register
The baptisms 1700 – 1720 name the fathers as Richard & John but no Samuel.
The only Samuel Carter Baptism I can find on Freereg or A……y is 18 Apr 1717 Midsomer Norton, Somerset. Father William.

On Freereg father Samuel, I wonder if William was the elder brother of your Samuel 1671?

The OPR on A.....y names the father as Samuel but I can see how it might be considered to be James on transcripts.

Thank you ColC for the info above. My records also suggest William Carter, b at Stratton 1664, is the brother of Samuel Carter (1671-1741) - see below. I am also searching for the wife of the latter Samuel, possibly married at Stratton on the Fosse ~1690-1710.
Siblings (all born at Stratton) of Samuel Carter (1671-1741) include: William (b 1664), Richard (b 1665/6), Alexander (b 1667), John (b 1674), and Sarah (b 1676/7).
Samuel Carter (1671-1741) is the son of Samuel Carter, b at Stratton 1642, buried at Stratton 1720.

ColC: I followed your Free Reg lead on Samuel Carter (son of Wm), b at Midsomer Norton 9 Apr 1717. However, these same records also show Samuel Carter, son of Wm, buried at Midsomer Norton 4 May 1718.
