Hi!
Do you mean Richard Carter who appears in the 1801 census in "House 39" with wife Susanna and two small children (Susannah and James)?
(That would make the "first child" you mention Betty, christened in Waltham St Lawrence on 3rd March 1776, presumably?)
Do you know where he married Susannah and what her maiden name was? Curious - I thought I had listed the Binfield 1801 census in the Berkshire look-up offers. If I did, I can't find it now!
Anyway, following on from that I had an exchange with JillRuss (sorry - can't cut and paste the link to her here!) where she said she thought Robert Carter had been born in Hurley on 17 Apr 1722, the son of Francis and Christian - although I'm not sure whether I ever knew why she thought he was from Hurley.
It sounds as though you have another theory about who Richard's parents and grandparents were and where /when he was born.
Since first cousins marry a couple of generations later in my tree, I have Richard Carter in my tree twice. There is a more implausible idea for his parents in the other place he appears in my tree at the moment.
Do I sound a bit confused? ;-) I haven't looked at that bit of my tree for quite a while and it's all quite hard to understand.
I'd be very grateful indeed if you could tell me where & when "your" Richard Carter was born, and who his parents/grandparents were and how he fits into the Carter family tree in Binfield! Thanks!
