Title: Carr mystery
Post by: David Carr on Wednesday 17 May 17 16:54 BST (UK)
can anyone help with this please.
1901 Census William Carr boarding with the Wilson family aged 16 born Craghead 1885.
1891 Census William Wilson living with the Wilson family aged 6 born Craghead 1885. I have birth certificate of William Carr at Craghead.
My question is are these the same person also 1901 census shows a Jane A Wilson down as sister to Tait Wilson. Or is it the sister of William Carr as later census records show here born in Sunderland also. I have never been able to find the marriage of William Carr's parents another William Carr and a Mary Britton. Another set of eyes over this would be appreciated.
Regards David.

Marriage of Mary J Britton to James Wilson https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NFJS-YBF

Think 1891 and 1901 are the same William.

All children are siblings - Tate, William and Jane Ann have Mmn Britton. Not checked others at https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp possibly William is half sibling.

Likely there is no marriage to William Carr as she is still Wilson in the 1891 census.

1891 for info - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WNQ1-4PZ image has her Mary J, and married...think Elizabeth Rolson is her firstborn dau.

1881 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q271-DSL4

1871 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V51H-M9X

Many thanks Cas. been looking at this for a few years now. My late Aunt said my great grandfather had been married three times may not be true. Have found out a lot of history from later in life but this always puzzled me.
Thanks again David.
