I am trying to find descendants of Francis Carter who was born on the Isle of Wight in 1874. His parents were Abel Carter, a tailor like Francis, and Agnes Duncan. I have family photographs and information to share. Julie

Hi Julie,

I don't want to get your hopes up as this is a long shot but Francis isn't a very common name and I happen to be descended from quite a lot of Francis Carters - the reason I thought there could be a link is that I have a large family and my ancestors siblings all seem to name their children after their ancestors so your Francis could be one which i don't have on my tree.

My family now lives in West Yorkshire but were originally from Wolverhampton (at least back to 1790s), I'd be happy to share my tree with you so we can see if there is a link anywhere.

Best Wishes
Sarah
