Hi Ann
I suspect there are many CARR threads in Australia so it may be worthwhile to be a bit
more specific in your enquiry.
As for mine, it appears that they entered as convict through Tasmania. However I have
found 2 children of a family of 8 in Australia and am hoping that someone may be
descended from another sibling that I have not yet identified.
The convict mentioned above was Nathaniel CARR who had married Jane COOKE in
Worcestershire around 1818 then moved to Birmingham. Nathaniel was transported in 1840s
and I have found two of his children (William and Rebecca) in Australia subsequently. I
have Jane in Birmingham with three youngest children in 1851 census but lose everyone
after that. I would be very grateful to hear from anyone connecting with this family.
cheers
