Looking For Parents Please
« on: Sunday 14 July 13 15:16 BST (UK) »
Hello,
My 4th great grandmother Harriett Carr married John Holmes in 1820 in Fletching, every census says she was born in Lindfield c 1799, I have a membership into the SFHG but cannot find any baptisms for a Harriett Carr between 1790 and 1801 in Lindfield. Wondering if anyone can see on the marriage who her parents might be

Thank you in advance

Hi Trish,
Thank you, I am not sure if she has siblings, I checked the SFHG baptisms, no Harriett Carr even shows as having baptism in all of Sussex that I can see

Have a look at the following removal order which could be Harriet with her parents and siblings (including the George that Trish found).
15 Jan 1808   Par/416/32/2/1   Jane CARR   Lindfield   Removal order
15 Jan 1808   Par/416/32/2/1   George CARR   Lindfield   Removal order
15 Jan 1808   Par/416/32/2/1   Harriet CARR   Lindfield   Removal order
15 Jan 1808   Par/416/32/2/1   Phebe CARR   Lindfield   Removal order
15 Jan 1808   Par/416/32/2/1   Charles CARR   Lindfield   Removal order

It states Charles CARR of Horsted Keynes married to Jane had the following children.            
Phebe CARR   5y   
George CARR    2y         
Harriet CARR   3y 6m   therefore born Lindfield mid1804.
 Perhaps she kept it quiet that she married when only 15-16.    1851 census index lists her as Harriet Holms aged 48 of Lindfield, also suggesting her birth was later than the 1799 you believed it to be


For another's research on George who became a gamekeeper, see:
 http://murigen.com/phpgedview/individual.php?pid=I101&ged=Chatfield_2013-06-07.ge

Jane was possibly Jane Belchambers who married a Charles Carr in Cuckfield in 1800.
Other Lindfield baptisms (George 1805 above, & William 1808) suggest that Jane may have also been known as Jenny.

Excellent, thank you both very much, upon looking deeper into the SFHG baptisms, I found Harriot Care baptized 26 Jun 1803 to indeed Charles and Jane. This is super, now can continue onto that side of the tree.

Once again much appreciated you both  ;)

Glad to have helped.  Using your same logic, her sister also appers in Lindfield as Phebe Care baptised 1800.   Roy G
