Thank you Sue,
Are there any Carters which go back further late 1600 early 1700's?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Pettsy
There are lots of Carters (about 30) for the 1692 - 1716 period but none in the Chelsea, Fulham, Battersea areas.

Do you know if they came from another area?

Hi Sue,

Could I also be cheeky  . I'm trying to find information about a George Hooker (my Great Grandmothers Uncle who she lived with in 1881)

They lived at 18 Aylesford Street, St Georges Hanover Square, Westminster.

George Hooker born about 1846 Basingstoke, occupation at that time (1881) was down as Boatman and later someone added Lighterman. I assume he worked somewhere on the Thames.

I came to a brickwall looking for information about whether he served an apprenticeship or not as the web site for the guild said the records were destroyed at some time.

It would be great to get a better idea of him.

Hope you can help, but if you don't have time no problem.

When you have time, could you see if there are any Huntingfords on your magic CD?

Thanks

Hi Sue,
I am not sure, they came from the West London areas.
Hammersmith, Chiswick too.

Thank you

Hi Pipkim

I Can't find a George, the nearest I have is a John George bound in 1871 in Horsleydown to a George Sholt but unfortunately he did not finish his apprenticeship as he drowned. I'm guessing that this is not the correct one.

Hi Meles

Lots of Huntingfords in the Greenwich, Rotherhithe, Woolwich areas. Any chance you can narrow down the area, years, or names.

OOOOH! 

I've just started to research this tree and if there are that many, it looks as if I might need to get my hands on this source! Where can I get it?

In the meantime, anything on a Benjamin Huntingford b 1850 would be useful. Rotherhithe area.

Many thanks for your quick reply.
