Jill,
I no longer have the actual copy as my article on J.Henry Carter, which is much fuller than the obituary, is being published next month in 'The Baptist Quarterly'.  Briefly he was born in Dumfries, spent his childhood at Langholm and then Ballater, studied at the University of Aberdeen with the intention of entering the Presbyterian ministry but whilst there changed his views about baptism and trained for the Baptist ministry at Rawdon College in Yorkshire.  He was pastor of Aylsham Baptist Church (1891-94) before moving to Australia where he was pastor of Stanley Street  Baptist Church in Richmond and part-time tutor at Melbourne Baptist College.  Whilst there he met and married Ida Webb of Geelong.  He seems to have had an eye problem as he returned briefly to England in 1895 to visit an eye specialist at Harley Street, London.  He resigned in 1900 and he and his family returned permanently to England where he had a succession of Baptist pastorates, with the exception of 1905-08 following being summarily and callously dismissed from the pastorate of Bingley Baptist Church.

]Many thanks.  

I have now read all the Trove material relating to McKaeg and written an article on McKaeg, mainly concerning his ministry at Bingley Baptist Church, England, where he was involved in no less than four court cases!

Your enquiry is dated over 4 years ago.  Do you still want this information?  I have a copy of the information you want.

Shropshire / Re: William Owen
« on: Thursday 26 January 12 11:40 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Geoff for your response.  I have the basic information about William's birth, marriage, death and offspring and descendents and the fact that John and Anne were his parents but cannot be certain of which John.  John Owen was a very common name in the Shrewsbury area.  I have four  possibilities with the likely one to be the John christened at St. Mary's on 8th February 1749 to John and Elizabeth (nee Morris) Owen who had married at St. Mary's on 28th December 1747.  However, there is not complete compatibility with all the facts known to me with this or any of the other possible Johns.

Would be interested in any information on my ancestor, William Owen of Shrewsbury (1791-1872), illiterate and a bricklayer by trade who became a Freeman of Shrewsbury in October 1812 and had 7 children with his wife Martha Price who originally came from Overton.

Australia / Rev John McKAEG

Would be interested in any information on Rev. John McKaeg who arrived in Sydney in 1831, conducted the first recorded Baptist service in Australia and but was soon imprisoned for debt.  For example, when was he released from prison and when did he die and where?
