Hi,
I'm interested enough to post a query in reply.
Are these CARR from mid England around Worcestershire and Birmingham in Warwickshire ?
If so - then f.y.i. I have an Edward CARR christened in 1821 at Redditch in northern part
of Worcestershire. The family moved from there to Birmingham where at Edward's father
transgressed while gathering food to feed his family and was given a free trip to Tasmania
, Australia. Apart from two of his children who also made it to Tasmania (not by similar
free passage, and I do not know how) I know very little about edward and his siblings who
remained in England.
This may seem irrelevant to you - until i mentio that Edward's parents were Nathaniel
CARR and Jane (nee COOK(E) ) who were married at Tardebigge, about 1 mile up the road
from Redditch in 1818.
So there's those names again - wonder if there's cousin marriages happening ?
cheers
