In 1841 Elizabeth Carr. birth:abt: 1835. was In the Union Workhouse (Westgate) with her
Brother Fenwick birth abt :1834, and 2yr old Robert birth abt:1839. Their Father James had
died 29 yrs of age in 1839 from consumtion. His 28 yrs old wife Sarah Carr nee Todd died
in 1842 of Consumtion also. She gave her address as Liverpool Street Newcastle upon tyne
in the Parish Of St Andrews. Fenwick appears to have gone on to live with his Grandfather
by 1851 at Newburn. Elizabeth is still in the workhouse at 16 in 1851 describes her self
as a scholar. what became of her ? Also what became of Robert? I can not find him after
1841.
Fenwick married Mary Ann Kirkbride and had several children he died due to a tragic
accident on a Wherry boat on which he ferried people across the Tyne from Goose Quay
Gateshead to the Newcastle side. The boiler exploded and he died from his injuries.
Regards To All Alan Carr. Newcastle Upon Tyne England.
