Title: Gravestones St Michael's Garston Lancs
Post by: FlowerBD20 on Tuesday 18 February 14 16:02 GMT (UK)
Hi there, Does anyone have these records or know where I can find them? I am researching the CARTER family, Thomas and Alice both born 1782, she died 1825 Garston Lancs, he possibly 1860-70ish. Their children were Henry b 1806 buried 1860 Garston Lancs, William born 1808, Thomas born 1810, Ann (Wainwright) born 1813 (as a Richardson my 3x great grandma), Margaret born 1815 died 1818 Garston, John born 1817. Some of these moved away but were then buried in Garston, I assume in St Michael's graveyard as they appear in the burial register there but I am looking for any hints about relationships that may help to confirm that I'm on the right track. Many thanks in advance, M

A very interesting family ...they were here 140 years before my family ...
Eleanor Carter b 1724 Garston .....the church was built in 1215 - the second phase of St Michaels was completed in 1715 - so more than likely there will be Carter graves - let`s hope there are headstones for them that are readable .. :)

I don`t know whether you have this - going back another generation
Thomas Carter christened 1st September 1782 - parents - William Carter and Margaret
Anne Carter christened 22nd august 1779 - same parents
strange that I can`t find any marriages for the Carter family in Garston ??? ...makes me wonder if they were C of E ??
