Member Since: January 2008 Posts: 741 Send Message	I have the Will of the widow of my ancestor dated and signed on 24th November 1891. The two witnesses to the Will are EDWARD CARTER and ELIZABETH H. CARTER, both of 95 Montague Street, Worthing, Sussex. I cannot find this couple [?] on the 1891 census and would be very grateful if you can spot them for me, please. Thank you.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	Ancestry - Keep it simple. Tried by inputting Elizabeth (with no surname) and Edward for spouse. Don't limit yourself to Worthing (FMP makes no mention in it's transcription). It comes up with 160, but many are easily disregarded and in the end CaSter is nearly Carter !!!!! Name: Elizabeth H Caster Age: 49 Estimated birth year: abt 1842 Relation: Wife Spouse's Name: Edward Caster Gender: Female Where born: Potters Bar, Middlesex, England Civil Parish: Broadwater Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch Town: Worthing County/Island: Sussex Country: England
