Daughter of James NASH and Eliza GREGORY. This is her husbands family, so she has lots of photos attached to her tree.

My Elizabeth GREGORY contact is researching on behalf of her husband. His great grandmother, Eliza, is Elizabeth GREGORYs sister. I've asked her when and where the photo was taken.

Thank you for the extra information. I contacted a few people on the other site who had Elizabeth and Thomas HEW on their trees to confirm the details. Nobody can confirm when and where Elizabeth HEW died, though. I've only done a brief search using her various names, I know she's not a direct ancestor, but with all those marriages I was curious about her.
There's even a (supposed, I've not confirmed it) photo of her, which makes her seem more real.

Thanks for that information about John ASHMAN. I have various ASHMANs in my tree.

I'm away from my computer at the moment and doing this on the phone. Hopefully this link to my tree works.

It's called Edwards Family Tree.

I have learnt, however, that FH keeps you up past your bedtime, and sometimes with excellent results.

I had to add Ruth CARTER to my Ancestry Tree, even though she's not really going anywhere! Then, well, I couldn't help but follow a hint, I mean, you have to, right?

There, on the 1881 Census, is 10 year old Edward J HAWKINS, my Great Grand Uncle. I'm SO happy, I had no idea what happened to him when his parents died. My Great Grandmother was shipped off to her other Aunts, Martha and Ann CARTER, but I'd never even heard of Ruth!

Thank you SO much Trees, you've made my day! :)

Thank you Ray and Trees!

I've only been following the Carter / Gullifords of Paulton for a week. Two weeks ago my father showed me his Grandmothers marriage certificate, complete with her fathers name on it. Breakthrough! But all it did was lead to all these Paulton Carter's.

Trees, you say that Jacob/Sarah possibly had another son, Henry, based on his marriage certificate. He marries a Keziah. But is this the same Henry / Keziah that Ray is also speaking of?

Thank you for the information on the 1841 and 1881 Census, I'd not seen that before.

Thank you, also, for Ruth. I didn't know about her.

I knew that Jacob/Sarah had a Christmas wedding (188 years next week, congratulations!) but hadn't seen the Witnesses. That's added to the potential mystery of Sarah's background. I think John ASHMAN might be her Grandfather. I need to find people who are researching Jacob/Sarah. 

I'm assuming it'll be practically impossible to get back further with Jacob Carter, given that there are two of them, and being so similar? Family History is a new endeavour for me. :)

Ray, I've read another of older (2009) thread on the Paulton Carters. I'll have a look for others. Thanks for tip.

I'd better remove the BADGERS from my tree!

I've just come across all this information and it's both interesting and highly confusing.

Jacob CARTER = Sarah GULLIFORD are my third great grandparents.

I'm trying to find his parents and was hoping that I'd find a connection using his other children. Turns out that all the George Carters and the second Jacob Carter have made it very tricky to clear up.

Jacob and Sarah had four children, George, Martha, Ann and Mary.

Mary is my second great grandmother.
Ann didn't marry (to the best of my knowledge)
Martha married James Tucker, no children

George was the only other one to have children, and therefore, hopefully, descendants with information on the family.

But I really can't work out if all the children I've given him are the correct ones. As far as I can tell, everyone here is researching the son of Jacob and Martha HOOK.

Any thoughts or other leads? Thank you.
