Jill,
I no longer have the actual copy as my article on J.Henry Carter, which is much fuller than the obituary, is being published next month in 'The Baptist Quarterly'. Briefly he was born in Dumfries, spent his childhood at Langholm and then Ballater, studied at the University of Aberdeen with the intention of entering the Presbyterian ministry but whilst there changed his views about baptism and trained for the Baptist ministry at Rawdon College in Yorkshire. He was pastor of Aylsham Baptist Church (1891-94) before moving to Australia where he was pastor of Stanley Street Baptist Church in Richmond and part-time tutor at Melbourne Baptist College. Whilst there he met and married Ida Webb of Geelong. He seems to have had an eye problem as he returned briefly to England in 1895 to visit an eye specialist at Harley Street, London. He resigned in 1900 and he and his family returned permanently to England where he had a succession of Baptist pastorates, with the exception of 1905-08 following being summarily and callously dismissed from the pastorate of Bingley Baptist Church.
