Title: mystery of Kitty Carter
Post by: lisasteve34 on Wednesday 14 October 09 23:01 BST (UK)
Need help finding clues to a family mystery. I am looking for an Emily Palmer Abt1890. Daughter of henry and Mary Palmer, Sister to Florence, John and Rose. The 1901 census says that she was born Wellingborough Northamptonshire. However non of the children are in the 1911 census with their parents.  Emily Is said to have had a daughter know to us as Kitty Carter (could be catherine, Kathering, Kate). We don't know why she was a Carter not a Palmer. She supposidly married a man called Carter and had a son Roy and John. The family know the children but she was alsway know as Kitty Carter. She would have been born somewhere between 1905 and 1915. She later died soem time after the 2nd world war in a car accident.  I cannot seems to find Emily, or kitty on any census. so any help would be great. Also where is best to look for paper cuttings to see if i can find any clues there?

I'm a bit confused - is it Emily or Kitty who is supposed to have married a man called Carter and had Roy and John? (NB be careful not to give details of living people on Rootschat).

So were Roy and John said to be Kitty's brothers?
