My Carr link to you, AngleTerri, is most likely not tight. But, you never know.
Unfortunately, California has a bazillion Carrs!
The IBSSG reference caught my eye. I'm not an official member; I should be. on more
than one account. Maybe I should start a link, IBSSG Carr family in Los Angeles!
I am curiously searching for children my Uncle "Jack" may have had (born between
1951 & 1987 in Los Angeles or San Francisco).
The furthest back I can go begins with John "Mike" Carr.
b: Apr 1866 in Southern Ireland.
d: aft 1931 in Allegheny/Westmoreland Counties area.
He was a coke runner in 1900, then a tin mill doubler in 1910 until retiring.
Vincent Michael Carr, John "Mike" Carr's 5th child;
b: 19 Apr 1895 in Tarrs Station, Westmoreland Co, Pennsylvania.
d: 18 Oct 1971in Long Beach, Los Angeles Co, California.
(He arrived there about 1931.)
John Lavern "Jack" Carr, Vincent "Vince" Carr's youngest son;
b: 02 Sep 1929 in Martins Ferry, Belmont Co, Ohio.
d: 18 Feb 1987 in San Francisco General Hospital. (Last we knew, he too was living in L.A.
He arrived there about 1950-51)
Unmarried
Cause of death: heart attack brought on by high blood pressure and kidney failure; i.e.,
alcoholism.
Not embalmed; body unclaimed.
Both "Vince" Carr and "Jack" Carr died paupers.
Thanks,
Cathy Carr
