My grandfather (born in West derby, Liverpool, in 1886) was the son of John Latham Carr I
and his mother was Emma White. He had a brother called John Latham Carr (II) (dob 1884),
who married Lydia Leathwaite. Their eldest son was John Latham Carr (III)(dob 1905). I
found a record of him marrying in 1931 a Maria da Graca Santos. There is no record of them
having any children. I put John Latham Carr's name into google and found several
references to him in US results and looking at these, I found it was the same John, as he
had been traced back to Lydia Leathwaite. I then found a record of Maria daGraca Santos
emigrating, leaving Southampton in 1938, bound for Portugal (permanently) via India.
Now,the questions are:
1. Is it likely that Maria daGraca Santos who left Southampton is a different one? If it
is the same one, she left using her maiden name, having been married in 1931, but sailed
in 1938.
2. Did John Latham Carr III emigrate to the States?
3. Did he remarry?
4. (and most importantly) Did John Latham III have any children (possibly in the States)?
Are there in fact any further John Latham Carrs in the world?
Hope someone can assist.
I have another question, but will start a different thread for that.
Thanks, Ruth
