I have just joined this list and hope there will be other listers with
links to Essex CARTER families.
Some information I have so far:
Matilda CARTER b.abt 1835 Romford (Probably d.1908 Romford) m. Peter
DRAKE 1858 Romford (a cooper at a brewery)
Matilda CARTER was the daughter of Charles CARTER (b about 1793 in
Brentwood) and Sarah b. about 1795 Radwinter)
Siblings of Matilda CARTER included Charles, Mary, Thomas, David, Martha.
Martha CARTER had the married name of BARTHOLOMEW
There may be a link with the Orsett / Grays Thurrock area too as
Matilda's daughter Emily Sarah DRAKE married John ANDREWS at Grays
Congregational Chapel in 1884.
I hope this rings some bells with someone.
