Thanks, I can’t see any obvious link.

I believe my ggg grandfather was Jonathan Carver (b.1831 Hardley, Norfolk and married to Esther) and I suspect his brother was William Carver (b.1826 Mundham, Norfolk.) although I can’t find them together on any census so more work is needed. However, Jonathan’s father was Jonathan b.1801 and his father was Thomas b.1753 in Langley, Norfolk which is next to Hardley. I wonder if your James Carver and my Jonathan were brothers…pure speculation, no evidence yet so I’ll send you that PM.

Thanks again.

Tom

Hello Everyone,

Sandy, Jan and Nick, sorry about the delay in getting back to you…I’ve been working over the weekend. You’ve all been so helpful, I really can’t thank you enough. Sandy, I would love copies…what do you need from me? I suspected many of the family emigrated but knowing exactly who and when is fantastic, thank you.

Jan, I’m still searching!

Nick,

My side of the family MUST fit in here somewhere, we’re from slightly west of Norfolk but so close to Hardley, Lodden etc. After searching a little more, it appears my great, great grandfather was James Carver, born 1861. I believe his father (Jonathan) is the brother of William Carver, born 1826 and who is shown in the family tree on the page you gave me. In fact, the page states that William was a witness at the marriage of Jonathan and Esther in 1856. It seems that brothers Jonathan and James Carver married the sisters, Susan and Esther Cossey. It would be really interesting to know where you fit in…are you a near or distant relative?

Thanks again for your help. Best wishes to all.

Tom Carver

Hello Everyone,

What a great site! I don't know if I'm supposed to post this here so apologies if I have interupted someone!

I am really hoping one of you knowledgeable lot can shed some light on my side of the Carver Family. I am Thomas Carver, my father is Neil Carver and his father was Reginald Carver. Reg was born in West Rudham in Norfolk, England. His father was Robert John Carver (Great Granddad Bob).

I believe Bob’s father was James Carver, born about 1861 in Mulbarton, Norfolk, England, and married to Clara Hook. They had several children…Lilian Emily, James, Robert John (Bob), Frederick, Florence, Frank, Arthur and Eleanor.

I think James and Clara emigrated to the US (New York State) along with Arthur, Frank and Florence sometime between 1901 and 1917. In England they left behind Lilian Emily, Robert, Frederick, Eleanor and James.

I have come to a halt when I get back to 1881 and am really trying further things, I suppose I will get there eventually? It’s wonderful to see that the Carvers are making an effort! Anyone with any info?

Best wishes to you all.

Tom Carver
