CARVER Ramblings Part 2

[Chris Carver]

Thanks Jan,

I checked when I was at BLARS earlier this year and they don't have the indenture.

Hi Chris

Shame about the indenture

Jan

[Chris Carver]

Thanks.  That confirms another link which we had just surmised as probable.  I now have confirmation of Thomas of Southill all the way down.  Now I have to try going the other way back in time.

Ooh er

There was a long message from Neil that I was going to reply to but now it has disappeared

Anyone else see it?

I had a message yesterday that the topic had been split, but no indication of a new one nor could I find Neil's message!

Ah, yes - I also received a message from Neil about a new posting, and then later he emailed me again saying after he had thought more about what he had posted and after further discussion he decided to have it removed...

I'm sure he will write his own reply here soon....

So you're not needing glasses nor are you crazy 

Season's Greetings, all!

Hi

Neil PM'd with the details of what he had previously posted and then asked to be deleted so puzzle solved


I have done little Carver research lately but do now have the records for my g grandad Robert Carver's year in Three Counties Asylum - he was a very heavy drinker and my great gran left him as a result. Also have the records of his son (my gran's brother) also Robert who was epileptic and spent 4yrs in the asylum. They both died there. All very sad, but it does make some sense of my gran's life and how she was, so well worth obtaining.

Seasons greetings to everyone

Did a first trip to the Lincoln County Records Office in a bid to tidy up the 'Lincolnshire Interregnum years' where in the late 1870s and possibly early 1880s, the Carver family branch that originated from Wrestlingworth and ended up in the Wakefield area, went a-wandering through the fenlands.  The info below I found out is new to me.

Marriage: Billinghay, 14th Oct 1877 : David Carver & Rebecca Paley.

David 'full' age (I estimate 36) and a bachelor labourer.
Rebecca - 17 yr. old spinster.

Father of groom - Thomas Carver (which seems to confirm this is our Carver).  No reference is made to his death in Feb. 1876 but his occupation is entered as 'labourer'.   Father of bride is John Paley, also labourer.

Neither of the betrothed could read or write as all left marks.

Witnesses: James & Rebecca Rowett.


Burial Record: Billinghay, 5th March 1903 - David Carver, aged 67 (age inconsistent with census info we have on him.)

I can not locate a Rebecca Carver on the 1911 census, so checked out marriages for Billinghay 1903-12 - She's not there and there are no burial records for her in Billinghay 1903-05  (Fiche 1905-11 alas missing).

I recorded all the Lincolnshire Carvers on the 1881 census (19 in all) and whilst Rebecca Carver, aged 21, 'field labourer' and married, is in Billinghay, there is no record for David in the county.  Wonder where he might have been?  (I seem to recall Janan suggesting a while back he might have been in Micklefield on the 1871 census...).

I can find no evidence of any children.

Baptism record: Tydd St. Mary, 29th Jan. 1879 for Frederick William Carver, son of Samuel & Emma.  Father recorded as labourer and living in Tydd Gote.   Note scribbled in margin : "born 24th Dec. 1878".

Neil.

Hi Neil

Yes pretty sure this is him - can only assume Besnor is a best attempt at birthplace as spoken to a Yorkshire man in a broad Bedfordshire accent.
