hi List, as it's a new-ish year, I thought I'd repost my interests.
All surnames are CARTER unless given
James, born c 1778 Melling, LAN married Jane ? surname
their son Thomas ch 1808, Melling
were there any other children?
Thomas married Deborah ? surname
theitr children
jane 1830 Wenington
John Davi(e)s 1834 Melling
mary Anne 1837
margaret 1840
Elizabeth 1842
mmy link is through John Davies CARTER who was my 3xgt grandfather.
I'm also trying to work out if there is a connection with a JACKSON family
of lancaster, as margaret is living with a Hannah JACKSON throughour every
census from 1861 to 1891. In 1851 she is with her grandmother 2 doors away from
the rest of the family.
I'd love to hear from anyone who recognises these names
Regards yvonne
