Hello Everyone,

I have  come across this site accidentally, and was amazed to see your search for George Carter , I  am  searching for my George Carter ( a coal miner) born in Paulton Cambridgeshire, he was born around 1820c and he was married to Hester ? she was born in Rhymney, Glamorgan wales in 1840c.

George had a son called Albert James Carter b.1848c also born at Paulton ,he was married to Cathrine ? They moved to  Bedwelty Monmoutshire, Wales showing in the 1881 census.

Albert James Carter had a daughter named Hester Carter b1867c she married Evan Davies from Ebbw Vale in 1900.

I was wondering if any of mine liked up with yours! It would be great to get more info on the early Carter's in Paulton.
I hope someone can help. Many Thanks, C

just a quickie the witnesses of that wedding I gave were Georg'e brother Thomas b 1821 Paulton and  Hester Chivers who he married in 1846
It made me very sad to read the 1841 census HO107/ 939/18 fo 9 p11  to see Hester age 16 and her littke brothers Benjamin 13, Joseph 12,Jesse 8 and Sampson 5 were all Coal miners as were both their parents Thomas 64 and Sarah 44.

The family lived in Victoria Bedwellty from the children's births on the 1891 census you can see a bit about the place with a photo here

Pleased to be of some help  :)
 If you have not got access to the censuses they appear on let me know and I'll PM the information. Do you want the children of John and Betty?
I can not find John's baptism in Paulton so you will need to check nearby parishes also there is no baptism in Paulton for a Betty Heal there is however this baptism for a female (the name has not been transcribed so has not been able to be read by the person who has looked at the register for Free Reg)
 http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Baptisms&RecordID=1698664
Paulton Holy Trinity 74 25 Apr 1786
Sex   F Father James Mother Ann Surname HEAL
Poor John Carter died age 44 during the Cholora eppidemic he was buried 12 Oct 1832 with a C for Cholera on the Parish record Two of his little sons also died of Cholera
Samuel bap 8 jan 1828 buried 12 Oct 1832 C
William bap 17 Oct 1830 bur 9 Oct 1832 C
Betty died aged 64 and was buried 14 Mar 1849
Your George with his brothers Thomas,James and Job are all with Betty in 1841 HO107/ 939/18 fo33-34 p17-18

Please may I join this discussion group and seek your collective wisdom. Tracing my wife's family back I have arrived with George Carter son of Rubin and Mary or Mary Ann in Paulton
the 1861 census RG9 P1679 F178 P35 shows George born abt 1845 son of Reuben Carter,born abt 1815 coal miner of Withy Mills, Brittons, Paulton and Mary.

the 1851 census confirms the above  (HO107 P1939 f153 P24) and adds Mary's maiden name as Reuben and Mary Ann are living with her mother Lidda Shale who is widowed , born abt 1787.

I am stuck now with Reuben Carter born about 1815. I live too far away to visit the village although I would love to search the church yard.  The IGI is a muddle of different submitted records which are conflicting. 

Can any of you link my family to yours? do you have any suggestions as to how to sort out Reuben Carters ancestry.

The census shows George to have worked in the iron foundry

many thanks for reading this

Hi dochines,

The IGI has very poor coverage in Somerset. You'll find FreeREG much more helpful:

http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl

Too helpful in a way, there were two Reuben Carters baptised at Paulton in 1815 and another in 1816!

You can also find transcriptions of many of the Paulton parish registers at the Chewton Hundred group:

David

PS  Another useful site is BathBMD

http://www.bathbmd.org.uk/index.php

It covers Bath and North East Somerset, so includes Paulton and Radstock. It has the advantage over other BMD sites that it gives the mother's maiden name for birth registrations.   Reuben's wife was probably Mary Robbins.

Lidda "Shale" is doubly misleading. Firstly it should be "Hale", see the 1841 census.  Secondly it wasn't her name when Mary was born.  FreeREG gives Charles Hale married Lidia Robins in 1833.  Either it was her second marriage or she wasn't married before. Looking for Mary's baptism on FreeREG will show you which.
