CARVER Ramblings

[janan]

 Hello again Nick,
I'm posting these families from the 1881 census out of interest really, are they any connection with you? It also explains the reduction of carver's in Wrestlingworth between 1861 and 1881, I wonder why they moved to Yorkshire.  Jan

Thanks for this. There are quite a few W Yorks Carvers that I have not been able to link to our family - perhaps they all come from Beds? My Carvers are mainly in the E Yorks area, but John Carver who moved up to Yorkshire in the late 1830s (current assumption) was living in the city of York when he married in 1840.

There are two strands of Carvers in Norfolk - tradespeople from Norwich and agricultural people from outside. The two may be linked, but if so it is back before the 17th century. I like to try and make sure that anyone researching the name is aware of these facts as although no link may be apparent at present, one might emerge in the future.

Good hunting
Nick

Thanks Nick, I'll keep an eye open for Norfolk links. Happy searching Jan
