There's 2 Georges* c1829-1831 b Paulton with Fathers Jacob and BOTH are Coal Miners .... What occupation is shown on the Marriage Cert, does it match ?
The 1831 chap would seem the best bet, is his age consistant throughout the source records you have ?
Could try following the other one to check later events ?
* Source 1841 Census

Hi Lisa,
Here are the two marriages
CARTER Jacob = HOOK Martha 27 Feb 1814 Paulton
CARTER Jacob = GULLIFORD Sarah 25 Dec 1826 Paulton
Both Georges are in Paulton in 1851. (seems little between them in age at this time) Looks like the other George is in Paulton in 1871. (Wife Mary SNOOK) He has a daughter Martha - perhaps a clue.
Cheers Kris :)

past master where have you found a son of jacob 1831???
I have one bap Dec 25 and one bap Dec 30 both in 1827
I have one in 1831 son of john and Amy nee Bull follow the main chase on the other topic
Both Jacobs had daughters called Martha!! so its not surprising that both Georges do too neither appear to have a Sarah

Pastmaster
Am I right in thinking that your source for the 1831 birth is the 1841 census?
On the 1841 census Jacob/Sarah's George is shown as 10 years old giving an 1831 birth, however he was baptised 25 Dec 1827.

I've just come across all this information and it's both interesting and highly confusing.
Jacob CARTER = Sarah GULLIFORD are my third great grandparents.
I'm trying to find his parents and was hoping that I'd find a connection using his other children. Turns out that all the George Carters and the second Jacob Carter have made it very tricky to clear up.
Jacob and Sarah had four children, George, Martha, Ann and Mary.
Mary is my second great grandmother.
Ann didn't marry (to the best of my knowledge)
Martha married James Tucker, no children
George was the only other one to have children, and therefore, hopefully, descendants with information on the family.
But I really can't work out if all the children I've given him are the correct ones. As far as I can tell, everyone here is researching the son of Jacob and Martha HOOK.
Any thoughts or other leads? Thank you.

Hi Laura
Welcome to Rootschat. Ah the Carters of Paulton!!! It is very difficult to get any real firm evidence on the Carters particularly the Jacob/Sarah & Jacob/Martha lines. My line is through the George Carter who married Mary Ann Badger in 1861 in Neath. After some intense investigation I eventually decided that this George was more probably from the Jacob/Martha Hook line rather than the Jacob/Sarah Gulliford line. My decision came from a considered liklihood rather than positive evidence.
My reasoning to support the Jacob/Martha line is:
In 1861 census the George born to Jacob/Sarah was living with his parents (name shown as Caster rather than Carter) in Bloomfield, Paulton.
However I just feel that the George who married Mary Ann Badger would have been in Wales at that time. Son John Henry was born 1 May 1862 so must have been concieved about August 1861 (in Wales) where Mary Ann was living and where George and Mary Ann were married October (in Neath).
John Henry was born in Withy Mills Paulton (june 1862, I have the certificate). Withy Mills was where George's Father (jacob) & brother Henry were living with married sister Keziah in 1861.
I think the birth of John Henry in Withy Mills and a brother of George being named Henry leant me towards the Jacob/Martha line.
None of George/Mary Ann's children were named Sarah and the only Martha was a Mary Martha born in 1874.
There are numerous forums on Rootschat about the Carters of Paulton.
Hope this is of help

Thank you Ray and Trees!
I've only been following the Carter / Gullifords of Paulton for a week. Two weeks ago my father showed me his Grandmothers marriage certificate, complete with her fathers name on it. Breakthrough! But all it did was lead to all these Paulton Carter's.
Trees, you say that Jacob/Sarah possibly had another son, Henry, based on his marriage certificate. He marries a Keziah. But is this the same Henry / Keziah that Ray is also speaking of?
Thank you for the information on the 1841 and 1881 Census, I'd not seen that before.
Thank you, also, for Ruth. I didn't know about her.
I knew that Jacob/Sarah had a Christmas wedding (188 years next week, congratulations!) but hadn't seen the Witnesses. That's added to the potential mystery of Sarah's background. I think John ASHMAN might be her Grandfather. I need to find people who are researching Jacob/Sarah.
I'm assuming it'll be practically impossible to get back further with Jacob Carter, given that there are two of them, and being so similar? Family History is a new endeavour for me. :)
Ray, I've read another of older (2009) thread on the Paulton Carters. I'll have a look for others. Thanks for tip.
I'd better remove the BADGERS from my tree!
-
I have learnt, however, that FH keeps you up past your bedtime, and sometimes with excellent results.
I had to add Ruth CARTER to my Ancestry Tree, even though she's not really going anywhere! Then, well, I couldn't help but follow a hint, I mean, you have to, right?
There, on the 1881 Census, is 10 year old Edward J HAWKINS, my Great Grand Uncle. I'm SO happy, I had no idea what happened to him when his parents died. My Great Grandmother was shipped off to her other Aunts, Martha and Ann CARTER, but I'd never even heard of Ruth!
Thank you SO much Trees, you've made my day! :)
-
Good luck with your search Laura. Pity you don't have the Badgers in your tree, now that is a family with intrigue!! Here is a very long forum on our Carters: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=401090.0

With all the Carters around having children of the same names it is difficult to keep track of them all. I think the Henry Ray mentions is the Henry son of Jacob and Martha born 1841 he is with his father in 1861 RG 9/1679 fo117 p34 while the Henry I think is son of Jacob and Sarah is with his wife in 1861 RG 9/1679 fo148 p24 Jacob and Martha had a daughter Keziah in 1826
Both families marry into the Dando family just to add to the confusion! :-\ fun isn't it? :D
Jacob who married Sarah Guliford was born about 1801 he is on the 1841,1851 and 1861 censuses
(their Henry? born 1829 married Keziah Dando)
Jacob who married Maria(DANDO) was born 1809 son of Edward and Hester he is on 1841,1851 and 1861 (Their daughter Elizabeth married a Charles DANDO and Jacob's sister Grace married Benjamine Dandoi)
Jacob who married Martha Hook was born about 1787 he is on 1841,1851 and 1861 censuses
(luckily not a Dando in sight ...yet)
Ask if you want the census numbers etc
Hello again Ray I thought we had put the Carters in the mews for a while its good to blow the cobwebs off once again though isn't it :)

....I think John ASHMAN might be her Grandfather.....
Judging by the number of marriages John Ashman witnessed I think he was the parish clerk at some time You may find this small item on my web site of interest about the work of the parish clerk in case he was
http://www.mcmullin.plus.com/par%20clerk.html
Can you tell us where your tree is and what name you have given it in case we can add to it for you

As you know James Walter Hawkins and Mary had two children Edward James ...he was with his parents in 1871 and with Aunt Ruth and her husband in 1881 and Annie Margaret who was with Aunt Ann in 1881
Do take care when following An..ry clues make sure you have a definite reliable source if none is given ask the owner of the tree where he or she found the information If they can;t tell you other than its on another tree check it for yourself with sound sites such as Free Reg the censuses...look at the actual images not just the transcription (yesterday for example! found a census with a son older than the father in the transcription the image showed the sin to be 12 but the transcription had 72! a tree owner had gaily copied that birth date with out a worry!)and you can also ask here on Rootschat if someone can check for you but remember we can't give any copy right information but will tell you the basics and where the information can be found.

Looking at Thomas HEW
Ruth died in 1884
then
Thomas remarried
(from An..try)
Elizabeth Banfield
[Elizabeth Gregory]
Female
Widowed
9 Feb 1888
Bristol, St Nicholas, Gloucestershire, England
John Gregory
Thomas Hew
4223383
So I looked for a marriage of Elizabeth Gregory and a BINFIELD couldn't find one so I looked for a marriage of Elizabeth Gregory and found on FindMyPast:
28 Nov James Carter son of William married Elizabeth Gregory daughter of John Gregory in Paulton
Poor James died and was buried in Paulton (from Free Reg):RegisterNumber
527
James Carter buried December 27th 1873 Age 25 years
From Bath BMD(another very useful site for you it gives mother's maiden names for baptisms)
Elizabeth Carter married James Banfield in St John the Baptist Keynsham 1875 Bath BND shows she was either Carter or Banfield which means they have noted her maiden name was Gregory but was marrying as Carter. Free BMD show the marriage was Dec qtr ie between October and December 1873
James Banfield was buried 23 Oct 1880 aged 30 he had been living at Plumers Hill Paulton (Free Reg)
Elizabeth Banfield father John Gregory married Thomas Hew as you have in st Nicholas Bristol 9 Feb 1888
Now as it happens I already had the marriage of Elizabeth Ann Gregory and James Carter on my tree so that now all links up.
If you want details of James Carter or Elizabeth Gregory let me know but neither are on your main tree are they just married in.

FreeREG givesa you full details of that Keynsham wedding

Many thanks David so it does and it confirms that she was a widow with father ohn Gregory.
I wonder what happened to poor James Carter He died so young and only a month after they married. I can't see any obits or newspaper items about his death though. Poor Elizabeth was not lucky in her marriages two months with James Carter 5 years with James Banfield at least she and Thomas Hew had a good time together. He died in June Qtr 1904
-
Thank you for the extra information. I contacted a few people on the other site who had Elizabeth and Thomas HEW on their trees to confirm the details. Nobody can confirm when and where Elizabeth HEW died, though. I've only done a brief search using her various names, I know she's not a direct ancestor, but with all those marriages I was curious about her.
There's even a (supposed, I've not confirmed it) photo of her, which makes her seem more real.
-
She was a widow on the 1911 census but I haven't found her death either will keep looking. Is it possible she married a fourth time?? Do you know where and when the photo was taken? Do you have any idea who Efoth Gregory the niece with her in 1901 was could she help to find her Did she go to live with Ediths parents? I notice some one has Edith as daughter of Jane Gregory (Elizabeth's sister) but the age is a bit out.Does your contact know how James Carter died?
-
Help Carter researchers Does anyone know who George Carter born 1841 Paulton was This one married Ann BULL who was the widow of John Carter and the mother of George Carter 1839. Ann and George are on censuses together with correct ages and with other of her children by John .George, her second husband was her lodger in 1871 ':-\'
-
My Elizabeth GREGORY contact is researching on behalf of her husband. His great grandmother, Eliza, is Elizabeth GREGORYs sister. I've asked her when and where the photo was taken.
-
Edith GREGORY from my contacts Tree:
http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/43148416/person/13221851517
Daughter of James NASH and Eliza GREGORY. This is her husbands family, so she has lots of photos attached to her tree.
-
Probably little Edith M was given to the widow to look after by the parish. This was a common way of looking after base born children by the poor law officials The parish would pay the widow child care giving her a bit of income and freeing the mother to work on her own account so she was not liable to the parish for relief. Luckily it seems once Eliza married her husband accepted Edith into his family. It would be an idea to look at the Paulton Poor law records to see if Eliza had named the father it is possible it was James Nash but could well have been some one else. ( I have a small piece about the Parish poor law on my web site:
http://www.mcmullin.plus.com/sh%20bar%20paper.html
and http://www.mcmullin.plus.com/poor%20law.html and
http://www.mcmullin.plus.com/overseers.html
May interest you. I really must update these pages I have more examples now particularly of bastard children being "nursed" by widows. I recently found one on my tree who was given to a young widow with children the same age as my ancestor whose parents both died when she was only 2 A good result for all concerned she had a loving family with other children to play with and the widow had a little extra income being paid for five rather than four children.
-
Hello again. I just picked up this thread and very interesting it is too. We have moved onto a younger George Carter than the one mentioned in the thread heading, hope that's OK. Trees, you said "Does anyone know who George Carter born 1841 Paulton was This one married Ann BULL who was the widow of John Carter and the mother of George Carter 1839".
I think he is the George Carter born about 1837 (not 1841 - his age is understated in the later censuses), son of John Carter and Amy Bull (m 6 Feb 1826 Paulton), who seem to have stopped having their children baptised after 1831. I can't find exactly why I have him for this odd marriage to a woman 20 years older than himself, but I seem to have eliminated all the alternative George Carters of similar age, and there are a great many!
George seems to be in Llangattock in 1861 in the household of George Hughes and is stated to be his "relation", though I haven't worked out which. These Carters certainly keep you on your toes!

That's a good list and I realise it is foolish to claim I have accounted for all of them. And I now think I am probably wrong saying that George the son of John Carter and Amy Bull is probably the one to marry Ann. But he is another to add to the list (and there is no baptism for him in Paulton.) In the census here he is:
1841, Paulton: John Carter 30 butcher, Amey 30, Thomas 14, Phebe 7, George 4, Samuel 1.
1851, Winterfield, Paulton: John Carter 44 butcher, Amey 44, George 12, Samuel 10, Elizabeth 8, Emma 6, John 4, Hannah 1, all b Paulton.
This George is not with his family in 1861.
But perhaps we can accept that the one who married Ann is the same one who is living with George Hughes in Llangattock in 1861. It would help to know what his relationship with George Hughes is. George must I think be George HEW (bp 24 Dec 1820 Paulton), son of James Hew and Mary Hewish. He married Margaret Lewis on 11 Mar 1852 in Llangattock (stated to be the son of James "Hughes"). I'm not bothered by the Hew/Hughes thing. It would be natural for a Welsh census enumerator and a Welsh vicar to take Hew as the common Welsh Hughes.
Number 4 on your list, George the son of Joseph and Betsy, comes into play now. His mother is Betsy or Elizabeth HEW. There seems to be no baptism for her but her age in the census suggests a birth date about 1817. I can't establish a relationship between her and James / George HEW, but there is a nephew Edward HUGHES aged 10 (b Beaufort, Brecon) with her in 1881 in Paulton.
I haven't managed to dig out anything more substantial - Edward seems to have disappeared after 1881. Betsy Carter nee Hew died in 1887. And George Hughes alias Hew and his wife Margaret seem not to be in the census after 1871 either. But I suppose a possible scenario is that George Hew/Hughes and Betsy wife of Joseph Carter are siblings. Edward is George's son. And these connections make it more likely that George Carter, who is with George Hughes in 1861, is the son of Joseph and Betsy Carter.
Then there's the conundrum of George Carter the lodger with Joseph and Betsy in 1861 - New Town, Paulton: Joseph Carter 48 coal miner, Betsy 44, Henry 14, Mary 9, Sarah 6, Felix 3, George Carter (lodger) 22 coal miner, all b Paulton.
Could he be enumerated twice (not impossible!)? Is George the lodger not Joseph and Betsy's son? I think I saw an earlier thread on this. The son is here, anyway:
1841, Paulton: Joseph Carter 25 coal miner, Betty 20, George 1.
1851, New Town, Paulton: Joseph Carter 38 coal miner, Betsy 34, George 11, Elizabeth 7, Henry 4, all b Paulton.
Hmm.
-
A lot to chew on there will take a look and get back with my thoughts on it later
Will we ever sort these Carters out why do some get baptised and others just appear on censuses
I think we need a chart showing which families turn up in Wales and which stay in Somerset too
umm plenty to keep us going
-
A little bit more digging. There's no birth registration for an Edward Hughes (or variants) around 1871 in the Crickhowell district, which covers Beaufort. There is an Edwin Morgan Hughes born Dec qtr 1870. In the 1871 census we have:
Prisk, Llangattock: Nimrod Hughes 40 iron miner b Paulton, Elizabeth 38 b St Mary Devon, Charles 13 b Bedwellty, Mary 7 b Bedwellty, William 5 b Beaufort, Edwin 6mo b Beaufort, William Jones (lodger) 24 iron miner b Malmesbury Wilts.
"Edwin" and "Edward" are sometimes interchangeable, so I think this is the Edward living with Betsy Carter nee Hew in 1881 in Paulton, stated to be her nephew. Nimrod Hew, bp 2 July 1826 in Paulton, is a son of James Hew and Mary Hewish. Ergo, Betsy is a sister of Nimrod. Betsy's son George Carter (bp 25 Dec 1839 Paulton) is therefore a nephew of George Hew/Hughes who is in Llangattock in 1861. So "relation" means in this case nephew.
We dig and we dig.... (bit we will never sort out the Carters).
-
Ok I've just had a trip to the census board to see if I can confirm the Nimrod connection and it looks good
Free Reg has a marriage 20 Dec 1858 for Nimrod and Elizabeth Deavey his father was decesed James His age was 30 a better match than the 71 and 181 census for Nimrod bapt in 1826
and two Amos witnesses and of course there are Amos connections along the way. So surely Betty Hew was a sister like you say there is a gap in James and Mary's family between their two Georges
1817 and 1820 where Betty will fit nicely. Nimrod is in Beaufort in 1851 with a family named Sage and I have already got a Sage Carter marriage in my data base
I think we can safely add Betty to the James and Mary family. So her son was Nephew of George Hughes and it was he who married the widow Ann Bull
phew I think we have solved it well done many thanks that filled a rainy morning nicely ;D and ties another Carter loose end up.
-
It's very gratifying isn't it, even if we solve just one of these along the way. I am now trying out a spreadsheet approach to all the George Carters born 1837-42 in Paulton. I won't go into any more detail now but they nearly all ARE accounted for. Will supply info later.
-
whoopy I hope they are will look forward to the list
So from my initial list
1,Baptised 1568 05 May 1839 George John Ann CARTER Paulton Collier
2. 1576 21 Jul 1839 George base born of Ann CARTER Paulton
3.base born nother Fanny age 2 on the 1841 census and 11 in 1851 married Elizabeth JORDAN
4.1590 25 Dec 1839 George Joseph Betsy CARTER Paulton Collier
5. 18 26 Jul 1840 George - George Frances CARTER Paulton Collier
in Dudley in 1851
6 The George in question
7.son of John and Elizabeth nee Barton died 1861
8.120 22 May 1842 George John Priscilla CARTER Paulton Collier married Mary Ann GREGORY
9.121 22 May 1842 George William Betty CARTER Paulton Collier
died in infancy
4=6 and married Ann BULL but then what is going on in 1861
Is the lodger with Joseph and Mary their son! or yet another George and what of the one with George Hughes that surely is Joseph and Mary's son and he married Ann Bull
So we now only have 8 and need to find what happened to Nos 1&2
-
Okay, in 1861 is Joseph and Betsy Carter have a lodger named George Carter, aged 22, b Paulton, who I think is NOT their son of almost similar age. That son must almost certainly be the one in Llangattock with his uncle George Hughes/Hew. Joseph Carter (b 1813) has a sister Ann Carter (b 1809) who has an illegitimate son named George, baptised 21 July 1839. Ann is living in Paulton in 1861 with her younger son William, and George is not there, but only a few doors away are Ann's brother Joseph with his wife Betsy, and lodger George. I think George is Ann's son.
Moreover, very nearby is living William Jordan and his family. William is the father of Elizabeth Jordan - who isn't actually present in 1861. However, the closeness of these family groupings suggest to me that William Jordan is about to become the father-in-law of lodger George, who is due to marry Elizabeth Jordan on 4 Sep 1862. The marriage register entry gives no father's name for George, unsurprisingly. Yes, he could be George the base-born son of Fanny Carter who is aged 2 in 1841 and 11 in 1851, but I'd say the evidence points to George son of Ann instead.
George son of Fanny is one of two Georges in this large contemporary group that I can't trace after 1851. The other is the son of John Carter and Amy Bull, born abt 1837/8. The rest are done and dusted I believe!
Let's try an upload. I've converted the spreadsheet into a pdf file which I hope will work.
-
That worked well strangely my husband did a similar chart to sort the Carters out years back his chart "George CARTERS from Paulton born 1837 – 1844 1871 – 1901 Census" pm me your e mail and I'll send his over to you I'm checking it against yours right now.
-
Thanks for the pm We are now putting notes on our chart to show the differences before sending it We have hit a big problem
Ann mother of base born George we don't think was the sister of Joseph who married Betty Hew and with the lodger George in 1851
Why
We have Joseph son of Stephen and Mary he had a sister Ann b 1809 who you think was young George's mum

But Stephen's Mary we have buried 359 26 Dec 1826 Mary CARTER 39 Paulton
This Mary with Ann was born Abt 1771 there is one bapt that year to James and Mary Carter. She is 13 years older than Stephen so I don't think she is Mary James who married Stephen so Ann isn't Joseph's sister.
So we think Ann was the base born daughter of Mary Carter bapt Paulton Mary The daughter of James Carter and Mary his wife was baptised June 8th 1771 and dying in 1845
now we have totally failed to sort out the James and Mary children I'll send you the chart we have for the various James and Marys
