Another thought, who were the witnesses on Maud's marriage certificate? Can you give their names and do you know if they are relatives?

I assume she gives Carr as her maiden name on the children's birth certificates?

I wonder if she is out there somewhere with grandparents etc.

Don't think Maud's showed up on the census yet.

Could be her birth surname isn't Carr - if Federick didn't marry her mother. She could be Maud ???

However, Maud obviously was made aware of who her birth father was as she gave his name on her marriage certificate.

Did George or Maud give any addresses on their marriage cert??

By the way,that BARROTT family that I found for you earlier is the same one as the PARROTTs-just Ancestry's own wonderful transcription.

You're welcome. We still haven't found Maud's birth yet!

She should have been born 1867 according to her marriage certificate but around 1871 according to the census.

Do you know if Maud had a middle name? Do you have any of her children's birth certificates?
