Hey Bumble :) so good to have another set of 'eyes' .. thanks for your time everyone.

In above household: Sarah Carr widow has three children with surname Wheeler and two with surname Carr. One of the Wheelers (Henry) has mmn Mullett

So did Sarah Mullett marry a Mr Wheeler have three children, then marry a Mr Carr who had two children from a previous marriage.Then Mr Carr died.
It would not be unknown for a widow to have further children following new relationships.

Hi Lizzie,

Not sure as  :-\

Ok, I see, Sarah put 1st marriage name as mmn for the Joseph and Augusta reg.

Thank you very much. I was completely 'confuddled' :)

Thank you very much. I was completely 'confuddled' :)

In my tree I have a young widow who remarried and had several children with her second husband. There was a mixture of registrations with her actual maiden name and with her first husband's surname. I have only seen the GRO  index, so don't know who registered the births, but my theory is that the mother registered the births where maiden name is correct and the father registered the others, only the rembering the name his wife had when they married.

  :) Thank you Lizzie,

With Sarah Carr in 1851 is a Master Chairmakers wife employing 25 men, there could be newspaper snippets of a company or works.

 Going on this, Augusta is d/o Joseph. I'm thinking that Joseph Carr is Sarah's husband and children William and Ann both mmn Easdon are his from a previous marriage (although bach on cert).
  It was in a reply that John Turner is Sarah's father on Carr/Wheeler cert  :-\

  Thanks again :)

John Carr married Sophia Easdon in  1825, not Joseph.
I think Joseph is more likely the one who married Ann Cannon in 1830.

There is something a bit off about that marriage in London. Two people from HW going off to marry in London by licence within days of Ann (Cannon) Carr dying. Marriage record said both were single originally, then Sarah changed to widow when she gave the name of John Turner for her father.

Possible Turner connection: In 1851, Sarah's mother Amelia is lodging with elderly widow  Sarah Turner. In 1841 Sarah has a possible husband John Turner. John and Sarah Turner had a son also John baptised  in 1795 - similar age to Amelia - is that Sara Mullett / Wheeler / Carr's father

  :D Robert Wheeler and Sarah Mullet 2 Oct 1836 (Was Robert in the mayoral family Wheeler)..

After digging around the marriage of Sarah Wheeler (Widow) and Joseph Carr at St Martin in the Field, London. It's possibly because she was baptized there.

Also bapt 22 May 1817 at same place is Esther Slaughter, wife of Robert jr Wheeler (mayor).

A Sarah Mullett, bapt 17th June 1816 St Martin in the field to William Henry and Sarah Mullett (a pastry cook).
Parents William Henry Mullett and Sarah Kitchen married same place 1814.

A link to a John Turner is there was one as Mayor in 1841 /1851 / 1867 High Wycombe.

I think the Sarah Mullett baptised in High Wycombe 29 Jun 1817 d/o Amelia Mayne Mullett (no father mentioned on baptism) is more likely.

Look up please for Augusta CARR b1853 Wycombe. Parents and Baptism plz.

In 1861 I find her in Long Row, Wycombe, 7yrs visitor to Harriett Beeson (Widow 23yrs)

also a visitor is, Joseph Carr 9yrs.

Augusta CARR and her brother Joseph CARR, the children of Joseph (a chairmaker) and Sarah CARR, were baptised at Holy Trinity Parish Church High Wycombe on 22nd May 1853

Carr household.. 1851
The children are 3x Wheeler mmn Mullett ages 13,11,8yrs..
and 2x Carr mmn Easdon. 12 and 9yrs..

The three WHEELER children are Sarah's from her first marriage to Robert WHEELER.  They were baptised at Holy Trinity Church High Wycombe as follows:

13 Aug 1837  Harriet dau of Robert and Sarah WHEELER
13 Oct 1839  Henry son of Robert and Sarah WHEELER
17 Jul 1842  Elizabeth dau of Robert and Sarah WHEELER

The two CARR children are Joseph CARR's children from his first marriage to Ann CANNON.  GRO entries as follows:

Qtr4 1838 Wycombe Union Vol 6 Page 366 - William CARR (mother's maiden name CANNON)
Qtr3 1841 Wycombe Union Vol 6 Page 397 - Ann CARR (mother's maiden name ED.... )

I think the maiden name given in Ann's birth entry is an error.  Her baptism is recorded in High Wycombe Wesleyan Methodist Circuit:

26 Aug 1841 Ann dau of Joseph and Ann CARR of High Wycombe, aged 4 weeks

I have not found a baptism for William CARR.  There is one other birth entry in the GRO Index:

Qtr4 1843 Wycombe Union Vol 6 Page 422 - Joseph CARR (mother's maiden name CANNON)

This child died the following year and his burial is recorded at Holy Trinity Church High Wycombe:
10 Oct 1844 Joseph CARR aged 1 year

Thank you very much Orpheus for all that information, it truly does help :)

How does the mmn Easden go with Carr, if his wife was a Cannon.

Thank you again Orpheus for your time.

There are no children with a mother's maiden name of EASDEN belonging to Joseph CARR.  There are, however, a number of CARR children with a mother's maiden name of EASDEN in the GRO Birth Index and I believe that these belong to George CARR, bachelor, and Eliza HESDIN, spinster, who married at Great Marlow on 26 Sep 1836.  The marriage was witnessed by Thomas GRAY and Elizabeth CARR.  Although Eliza's name is recorded as HESDIN in her marriage entry it is recorded as EASDEN when she and George CARR witnessed the marriage of Richard FORTNOR and Rebecca CARR.

My QUARTERMAINs are from Garsington, Oxfordshire and I can trace them back to around 1640.  I suspect that the family were originally from Chalgrove but have not found a link (yet!).

The Rycote QUARTERMAYNs (Richard and Sybyl) did not have any children so that branch died out.
