Besides the obvious of substituting "K" for "C", here is a not so
obvious one.
Looking for "CULL" in the English census, I finally found the family and the
indexer had indexed them as "OULL" and in another census as "BULL".
You never know.

Michelle,
Don't overlook the less-obvious. One of my Carters was listed as a
Carlin.
Transcribing those old hand-written records can sometimes be very
difficult. In the good old days, long, long ago, we used ink pens which
had a bad habit of leaking ink all over a document obscuring what was
written and leaving things up to anyone's best guess.
Just a bit of history for you younger folk...

tried every variation that I can think of, of Carter or caster or canter
or.............
