Well, there are a surprising number of Thomas Carriers, and no baptism
recorded for a Thomas Carrier or Thomas Morgan Carrier in 1626. HOWEVER,
there is a recording for a Thomas Morgan born Jan 12 1626, son of Henry at St.

London. There is no more information than that, so it's purely
supposition...

>> its citizen’s lives, including births, marriages and deaths. The only
>> way to trace one of these key events before the 19th century is to use

>>
>> The English Civil War was a series of armed conflicts and political
>> manoeuvrings between King Charles I and the English Parliament,
>> fuelled by Charles’ unpopular religious reforms in England and
>> Scotland and disregard for Parliament’s financial muscle.
>>
>> During the mid 17th century, Parliament was the Crown’s only means to
>> collect taxes and without it the King struggled for funds. When
>> Charles I called on Parliament to raise funds to suppress rebellious
>> Scots in 1640, the Parliamentarians tried to use their financial
>> influence to force through political reform and increase their own
>> power. Charles refused, leading to war in 1642.
>>
>> Eventually the Royalists were defeated by the Parliamentarians, but a
>> few radicals still feared Charles could return to the throne. This led
>> the powerful parliamentarian New Model Army, under the command of
>> Colonel Thomas Pride, to arrest all MPs who were sympathetic to the
>> king. A Rump Parliament was established and Charles I was executed for
>> treason. The commissioner at the trial, Oliver Cromwell, became Lord
>> Protector of England.
>>
>> Numerous prominent names from the Civil War feature in the collection,
>> including:
>>
>> Oliver Cromwell – Cromwell served as a commander in the New Model Army
>> and later supported the trial of Charles I, even signing his death
>> warrant. He became Protector of England until his death in 1658.
>> Cromwell’s marriage to Elizabeth Bourchier on August 13, 1620 is
>> listed in the St Giles Cripplegate Parish Registers
>> Thomas Fairfax – Fairfax was a parliamentary general and
>> commander-in-chief of the New Model Army, which was instrumental in
>> numerous victories against the Royalists. Unlike Cromwell, he refused
>> to condemn Charles I to death as he was more moderate in his political
>> and religious views. His marriage to Anne Vere in Hackney on June 17,
>> 1637 features in the collection
>> Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford - Considered as one of the
>> most prominent figures in the period leading up to the Civil War,
>> Wentworth supported King Charles I and became one of his leading
>> advisors. However, the King never fully trusted him and accused
>> Wentworth of treasonously advising him, which eventually led to his
>> beheading on Tower Hill. His baptism can be found in the 1593 St
>> Dunstan in The West Parish Registers
>>
>> Other famous and notable names that feature in the collection include
>> William Blake, Charles Dickens, John Milton, Robert Peel and Samuel
>> Pepys.
>>
>> The majority of the parish registers date back to 1538 when Thomas
>> Cromwell, Henry VIII’s Vicar General, issued an order that each parish
>> was to keep a register of each baptism, marriage and burial performed
>> there, however the collection also features a few much earlier
>> records. One of the transcripts that is included within the collection
>> is dated 1274.
>>
>> Russell James from Ancestry.co.uk comments: “These records detail the
>> existence of those living through the fascinating period of the
>> English Civil War, the political consequences of which can still be
>> felt today. The conflict instilled Parliament with genuine power for
>> the first time, while its factions developed into what have become
>> some of our modern political parties.
>>
>> “As official records were not kept by the government until Civil
>> Registration in 1837, these parish records are essential for tracing
>> anyone who was baptised, married or buried in London before the 19th
>> century.”
>>
>> Dr Deborah Jenkins, Assistant Director of the City of London’s
>> Department of Libraries, Archives and Guildhall Art Gallery, comments:
>> “I am delighted that we are able to make these unique historical
>> records available online for the first time and fully name searchable.
>>
>> "Our understanding of the development of London and the lives of
>> millions of Londoners will be greatly enhanced through online access
>> to this information.”

>> The launch of the early parish records marks the completion of the

>> of the ‘modern’ records dating from the early 19th century to the
>> 1980s. A total of 18 million parish records are now online, dating
>> from 1538 to 1980.
