Title: Jane and Martha Carter
Post by: Shrop63 on Sunday 15 June 25 13:28 BST (UK)
Hi, I, m looking for some help tracing these 2 ladies after 1881 when they were both in service in West Derby Lancs. Jane was 17 and Martha 13. Can't seem to find a marriage for either

Cheers

Jane was Jane E & you  can find her in 1901 as Jane E Harrison still in Lancs & shown as a widow.

Birthplace shown is same as 1881 entry

Can't see the 1881 entry you mention for Martha.  Please post piece/folio/page number

www.lancashirebmd.org.uk shows it was a civil marriage so can't be looked up

There are too many Martha Carter marriages 1885-1891 to determine the right entry

1871 entry shows Martha was b St Helens Lancs - not Shropshire ::)

Look at freebmd - marriage 1890 to James Hart is a possibility.  Check the 1891 census to see what birthplace is given

Seems James and Martha had 5 children and Martha was still alive in Chorlton 1921. Can't see a death for her or any marriages for her children.

I actually just found Jane while searching for her sister Seberiah, both in the same house!

Are you sure she was Martha - she is not on the 1881 census with Joseph & Ellen & your current post refers to a Mercy Carter who is on the 1881 census entry??
