I'm afraid I don't know why they changed their name so much. It happened
quite a lot with the many marriages. Kate is a brick wall as to where she came from,
we think Ireland and as you say they lived out of wedlock for so long. Thomas
lost his mother aged about 6 years so I think the grandmother must have had something
to do with it. John Carr came from Liverpool and that is why they ended up there.
He had two full siblings and whole lot of half siblings.
