Photo of William James Carver  bn 5 June 1848 St. Pancras d. 1921 Ickleton, Cambs, son of William Thomas and Abigail Carver nee Smith.   William James Carver, headmaster of Ickleton School, Cambs.    There are more photographs on the website www.ickletonvillage.co.uk but unfortunately at the moment the link to the photo archive does not work.

William Thomas Carver was the son of Samuel and Sarah Carver nee Colwell.  Samuel, a draughtsman, was the son of Thomas Carver (wife as yet unknown).

 Thomas was the brother of Samuel Carver, map engraver of Bowles and Carver, cousin of The Rev. William Carver of Melbourne, Cambs.

Hi everyone,
Re Bev's Carvers, I found a reference to one Abraham Carver - Bedford Borough Quarter Sessions dated 15 July 1816:

"Michaelmas Sessions.  Recognizances: Abraham Carver, basket maker, to keep the peace especially towards - Mingay, saddler, and toward the driver and guard of his majesty's mail coaches passing through the town"   

Wonder what he actually did!

There was also another reference on a2a website -  Nationwide Building Society Bedford Deeds re 47 and 49 High St. Bedford stating that the buildings had formerly been in the occupation of Abraham Carver.

Hi Jan,

Does the fact that William Crole Carver is mentioned in both wills point to his father The Revd. William Carver being the brother of Elizabeth's father Thomas, given the Wellingborough link?   If so, that would make William Crole and Elizabeth cousins and maybe explain his inclusion in her will.

Hi everyone,
I'm Barbara, who has been in contact with Jan.   Chris Carver and I are descended from the same line of Carvers and are hopefully connected to Beverley and Jan.

I have another will, which mentions William Crole Carver.  The will of Samuel Carver, late of St. Paul's Churchyard in the City of London, Printseller, now of Myddelton House, Enfield, Mdx. signed 22 Oct 1838 was proved 23 October 1841 London.   Samuel was a partner with Henry Carrington Bowles in the firm of Bowles and Carver, engravers and printsellers. 

Bequests were left to:

Nephew John Carver, son of late brother John Carver.
Sarah, widow of late nephew Samuel Carver   
Mary and Sarah Carver, daughters of late brother Thomas Carver
Mary and Sarah also received another bequest for the benefit and care of their brother James Carver so long as he resided in their care.
William C. Carver, son of cousin, late Reverend William Carver of Melbourn
Samuel Ebenezer Carver son of late nephew Samuel Carver.

Samuel and Sarah are my 4 x Gt. Grandparents.   No will has been found for Samuel but in her will Sarah left property to each of her four children Samuel Ebenezer, William Thomas, Mary and Elizabeth Margaret.    I am descended from both William Thomas and Mary as William's daughter married Mary's son!

Other bequests were made to members of the Bowles family including one to Eliza Ann Carver Reeves, granddaughter of Henry Carrington Bowles and Henry Carver Treacher, grandson of Henry C. Bowles.

Barbara
