Looking for links to my grandfather he was Christopher George Carter
born in Darlington, County Durham, England. 1879 to William and Eliza
CARTER nee LUNN. Christopher had sisters Eliza born 1884 and Mary Ann
born 1877. Sadly their father died in 1885 and the family were forced to
move into the union workhouse in Darlington, Eliza the mother later died
1897 in the Sedgefield Asylum, or Winterton Hospital, the children were
in the workhouse, at least until the 1890s, I have them in the 1891
census but suspect they were in much later, Christopher George moved to
Gateshead by 1901 and soon after marries my gran Elizabeth CARR. We
don`t know anything more of the girls but suspect they were in the
workhouse until they were found jobs in service or married. Christopher
George`s father was born in Newsham, near Barnigham Yorkshire.1837 to
Jonathan and Mary CARTER nee CARLTON. Also looking for links to them.
They had other children.
Christopher Carlton 1838, George 1843, Mary Isabel 1844 and Hannah Otley
1848. George moved to Marylebone where he was a manservant at the end of
the century the girls may have visited him there from time to time.
Thanks for reading this brief family history of our CARTER line.
