Mavis

I had a bad experience several years ago with a researcher from UK..I got his details off the internet to do a search for me.. He quoted a price ,the amount I could afford so I sent him the same information I gave you..We conversed on email and he kept me up to date with what he was up to.Long story short he sent the so called History to me. It consisted of an A5 plastic folder with 10 pages ot stuff including photo,s of Headstones B.C etc. The trouble is it was totally Wrong..It was George and Elizabeth and the family withthe Twin girls.. You may have seen it inyour research. He had the ship wrong andgave me photo,s of Northampton no the Ship.Any way I sent email to say I was not happy and a battle ensued.. So that is why I am a bit sceptical.. After my Uncle,s effort as well..Well that,s my rant for the day.. ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

If you want to find any Carter - Birth - Marriages - Death records use this site

Good Morning Mavis I think.? I have been looking at the Lunatic Asylum and it seemed like a reasonable place.Of course now they hold Haunted House tours there..I haven,t done any follow up today as I have 2 of my Grandkids over.School Holidays.I can,t get my head around William,s siblings or the other early Marraige.Do you have any item numbers for information? I cant quiet believe this from my early douments being no siblings..My Uncle did up a whole chart with this .As you know more about this business I will bow to your greater knowledge...Jennifer :-) :-) :-)

I have written details of some of Williams brothers and sisters marriages but
a lot of details on your Carter family are in Ancestry -- but be careful because
a lot of people that have William and Fanny in their trees but because they are not found 1881 census they have taken up with the William and Fanny in Loughborough which you can see are not George and Jane Carter's William

There is no saying if William has a birth cert. ??

I shall have another look to see if I can find Fanny 1881 she must be some where

Mavis

Wow that is amazing Mavis..I have actually got a copy from I G I for William B1848 to George and Jane .I dismissed it because of the date of Williams birth. Is there anything on his brothers and sisters ? :-0 :-0 That means I have more Relatives to find. If I ordered Williams BC would I get the right one??How can I find out what happened to Fanny ??Arn,t you sorry you answered this query... I hope not..LOL :-D :-D :-D

This is George and Jane Carter 1851

as you can see the George born 1840 is Williams brother not his father

there is no divorce for William - to expensive -- he was a bigamist
in Australia -- I expect he didn't think he would be found out so far away !!


Mavis

Hello Mavis..This sounds feasable..Is there a Divorce for William and Fanny? My information had George and Elizabeth/Jane having William when George was 14yo.Also that William was only child. So his sister Elisabeth is anew one to me. But then it is all new to me..I even think I have a printout of George and Jane in my folder..How does one find people in asylums..Thank you so much for this..Now I can work on Carters in Australia as they travel from Sydney to Geelong in Victoria..Another trial..Also Margarets Irish history of Higgins..Keep up the good work.. Jennifer

Found Fanny in 1891

Name: Fanny Carter

Address: Leicester Borough Lunatic Asylum ... Parish: West Humberstone... Area: Billesdon... Age: 42... Born In: 1849... Relation: Patient... Profession: Domestic Work... not known where she was born -- think she died not long after this

they had a daughter Elizabeth Ann born beginning of 1871 might have found a couple of Elizabeths in 1881 as visitors to family's ---- not yet found Fanny in 1881.

there is another William and Fanny Carter in Loughborough which a lot of people have taken to be the same couple but she was Fanny Smith they make confectionery not bricks. it is confusing because they also have a Elizabeth A but she was born 1874

is this enough for you to believe I have the right William. ???

Mavis

Hello again you tireless people.Is there any way I can send copies of my M.C and shipping records for you to look at yourselves?Some of this info is correct. MAVIS you are right in saying William could have got his mums name wrong.I dont know if George cam out here .Definatly not together on same ship.Mavis ,what are the numbers after this entry? The occupation of George on Williams MC is BrickMoulder..William was Brickmaker? George was born in 1840 according to a record my uncle did from LDS years ago...I have been trying to get this right on and off for years.....Thank You All :-( :-( :-( :-(

We're HERE

What do you mean you 'don't know where to 'find' us'?

Sorry Mavis and all.I dont know where to find you.Thanks for your help.. :-S :-S :-S

Until the poster gives us the FULL details from the marriage cert...............it's all speculative

It shouldn't be too onerous to look for the father's name and occupation

Lets see if this helps -- If George 1840 and William 1854 arrived together
in Australia -- I believe they are brothers from the 1851 Census Chis put
up above -- William looks to have taken 5y of his age to appear younger

Did George arrive with wife Harriet -- from 1861

----------------------------------------

there is another William and Fanny Carter in Loughborough they = 1871 she is Fanny Smith -- Williams mother is Elizabeth unm 1824 daug of Robert and
Catherine Carter.

there are no deaths between 1871 and 1881 for Frances/Fanny Carter or Elizabeth
Ann Carter that I could see --- could they have died on the ship ??????

still needs more investigation to make sure we may be on the right track

anyone else got any ideas

Mavis

BRICKMACKER/MOULDER/SETTER are given as occupations of both men.

(and another from somebody)


I know William and Margaret married straight off the Northhampton N.S.W. in 1879.ST. Augstines Church Balmain.
On M.cert. Wm.and George are Brickmoulders/pointers/layers.,from leistershire,U.K.
Margaret B. 1856 Tipperary Irld. I have come up with blanks in U.K.and Irland and with no living relatives that I know of I dont know where to go next. Hoping anyone can give the tiniest bit of information, it will lead to others with same interest.
I have 1840 for Georges' B but this is incompatable with Wms. B in 1854??
Wm. and Margarets' first child was George Henry B 1880 at Geelong Vict . 3 others inc. Thomas patrick B. Hawthorn Vict.
