Thanks for sorting that bit out ...   something else is not making good sense to me ...

I think you may find that the Joseph CARR, publican was NOT the Joseph Carr, Engineer.    I can see TWO marriages at Vic BDM that may be of interest…  a Joseph CARR married in 1854 to Margaret MACKAY #3701/1854 and a Joseph CARR married in 1855 to an Amelia THOMAS #2766/1855.   Amelia and Joseph CARR as well as Margaret and Joseph CARR were registering babies born in the next several years after those two marriages.   Very very likely that would be indicating two chaps both named Joseph CARR.    (And of course there's also Joseph CARR,  son of a Joseph CARR, marrying in 1864 .... and a Joseph CARR in Melbourne, with the Wesleyans, a trustee, (unlikely to be a publican) ... all in the 1860s...  :D  - so possibly four by that name in that decade...

Yes, more than one Joseph CARR

The couple whom Peter's associates in research believe to be the right pair, were Joseph CARR and Margaret McKAY who married in 1854 in Vic (3701), I think.

Their certificate of marriage issued shortly after civil registration in Vic, should clearly give his origins and some family details.  perhaps this is the document the family history is based on.

Possibly the last of their children was born in Adelaide and died there in 1874, aged 4 years.

There is a death record also for Jos. CARR in 1871 and possibly this is the man of Peter's family history listings
