Thomas Carter

[Jackie45]

Hi Everyone
Can anyone help me please?

I have a Thomas Carter b1858 who married Jane Ellen Hollis 19.11.1892 in Abram, Wigan. He was 34. Bachelor. He was a labourer. She was 26.; so born around 1866?  Spinster. They were living in Bamfurlong at time of marriage.

I have their wedding certificate and it states his father is Thomas Carter deceased. He was a Brakeman? No father listed for Jane.

I just cannot find the father who is deceased at the time of their 1892 marriage.

Can anyone find him please?

Some years ago I was looking at a Carter Hancock Ball line as I thought he was an illegitimate child of Martha Carter who was born 1830 in Backford. I've started to search again and now this certificate has thrown a spanner in the works!

Apologies for the essay.....just wanted to give as much info as possible.

Thank you in advance.

No info given re his birthplace.  If he is the 1901 entry b Whitley Cheshire - you need to ask the moderator to move your post to the Cheshire board

See other census entries posted in my reply - added later so you may not have seen them

[Jackie45]

Thanks just seen them.

So the Carter Hancock trail was correct.

I've never found Martha, his mother b1830 married.

So it's a mystery his father is listed as Thomas.

I need to get his birth certificate I think

[CaroleW]

He was illegitimate

1861 has 5yr old Joseph William Carter whose birth is on freebmd June qtr 1855 Wirral.  GRO online has no mothers maiden name

Thomas Carter birth Dec qtr 1857 Wirral - also no mothers maiden name

Martha was unmarried in 1851 & 1861 as was Joseph.  I think the 1871 entry showing them as married is an error
