HI,
I am sending the below information in the hope that someone may be able to use it
one day
As you can see I have most of the Australian information on John James Carr and
his descendants,
So the only information I need is on the Guernsey side for John James his father
James Carr and mother Elizabeth English and their prior families
The only information I have about them is that James was an attorney, Johns
mothers name was Elizabeth English and John was born in Guernsey as stated on Johns
marriage certificate
It seems that John James must have came to Australia alone according to some
family members who have tried to research John James family and couldn't get past
Australia. John James seemed to be very well educated , he was a school teacher in Bombala
for a couple of years around 1858 . Some older family members say James Carr may have come
from Bath, England ?
I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with the information so that I
can further my family research... Many thanks.
