Hi
Im looking for the birth of my 4x Great Grandfather, really struggling, and you are my last hope.
John Carter born 1790/1 Upton Grey, Hampshire
Married Mary Benham 1817, Lasham Hampshire
Until i find his birth, then this line of my tree is closed, because i cannot find anything, anywhere....FindMyPast, Ancestry, British Newspaper Archives.
Thank you so much in advance, fingers crossed

Could you confirm your dates of the birth and the marriage please.
-
done ;D ;D
-
So the birth dates and places come from a census? 1851 perhaps?
When did the couple marry, please? Might this have been a second marriage for John since there is quite a big age gap.

Sorry - just realised that I misunderstood - they married in 1817. Is Mary of a similar age to John?

Just in case you don't already have it, Mary Benham was baptised 30th August 1794 at St Mary, Lasham, daughter of William & Mary, details from freereg.

The only Carter baptism I can find in the right sort of time-frame is for a Richard Carter, son of Thomas & Elizabeth on 18 May 1788.
