Title: Look up request please? Surname CARTER
Post by: ukgal on Friday 12 August 16 19:45 BST (UK)
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

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?

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.
