Lou,

Interesting you should mention the fair because the Carter family I posted in 1901 was living in a caravan. They were also in Caravans in earlier census. I'll post the records.

Thanks Jan. Not sure where they mean then. Unless they meant Sussex and wrote Surrey. This is definately going to be a certificate job i think. Thanks for all your help.

Lou, just to say have had a look at 1911 original and it definitely says Stenning, but most likely a spelling error on their part.

LouT Report 5 Apr 2010 00:26

Just a quick note. I checked my info again and i got Stenning from the 1911 Cenus. Need to buy more credits to see the actual census so will have to wait. I know that Fredericks children were born in Sussex and Kent so they are the most likely places for him to be from but i do know that they did/had at some point travel with The Andrews Fair as my nan told me about her mum Gentina selling sweets on the fair. The Andrews are their cousins (so i have been told by my nan, which obv might not be true as word of mouth can be hearsay)
Thanks
Lou

Thanks so much for all of your replies. Think the best thing to do is wait until i have moved house and order some certificates. I have spent 3 years finding Gentina and her marriage etc as her name is spelt differently on all registrations incl 1911, birth, marriage and death. I am sure another few months wont make too much difference. lol. It was a long shot so thanks for all your help guys Nobody ever said family history was a quick proccess lol.
Thanks again

Yes Rose I agree ...I don`t know of a Stenning in Surrey, but there is Steyning in Sussex.

Looking at the 1901 and 1911 census entries again, i`m not sure you have the same person on both..

1901 Census he is Frederick G Carter...
1901 Marriage Frederick Carter
1911 Census Frederick Carter

Think the 1911 Frederick is probably the one who marries in Tonbridge in1901, as the 10 years of marriage and the names of possible brides match up.

An example of why you need to buy the certs.!!

I cant find a place called Stenning. There is Anerley Gt London.Has anyone checked the census images

KathleenBell Report 4 Apr 2010 23:45

If I was you I would buy Gentina's birth certificate first to establish her mother's maiden name. If it turns out to be Swan then you can be pretty certain that we have given you the right marriage in Tonbridge. Then you have to decide whether or not to buy the marriage certificate as this is the only way to be certain of Frederick's father's name so you can be sure you have the right family in the 1901 census.

In answer to your original question....... yes there is a chance that this may be the correct Frederick G Carter but....... by the same note it may not be, there could have been more than one Frederick G. Carter born Surrey c1881

Is Stenning near to Annerley?

Family history is a very expensive hobby, but you really need to buy certificates, especially on yout direct line to insure that you are tracing the correct people, either the marriage cert. for Frederick or Gentinas birth cert. will help you trace back correctly.

OK the spelling was right!! I know it gets expensive but there are times when a cert becomes necessary and this might be one of them:

This looks like the birth reg. for Gentina....if you purchase this it will confirm parents names including mothers maiden name...

KathleenBell Report 4 Apr 2010 23:36

Could this be their marriage:-

Name: Frederick Carter
Year of Registration: 1901
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Tonbridge
County: Kent, Sussex
Volume: 2a
Page: 1517

Also on the page is a Mary Ann Swan.

The marriage certificate would give his father's name and occupation.
