In 1871 he was at home with his parents aged 12 and a cigar maker

I cant find anything between 1871 and his marriage in 1886

Edit *** Have you seen the photo of GAC on an Ancestry tree owned by Rob Walker

I can trace my family back to James Carter b.1807, married Ruth Rice.
His son George b.1832, married Elizabeth Hooker.
Their son George Adolphus Carter b.1859 (My Great Grandfather) is a bit of a mystery
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar - District: St Luke County: Middlesex - Volume: 1b Page: 589

I beileve George Adolphus arrived in Australia at the age of 14 in December 1872 on the ship "Hampshire". Victorian Unassisted Passage List - Fiche 315 Page 001.

I have no more information than the above but I'd love to know if he came out to Australia on his own and, if so, where he stayed until he reached majority.

He spent his adult life in Victoria but I can't find a death certificate for him.

He was a cigar manufacturer and my grandfather Arthur Laurence Carter was also in that trade.

Regards,
David Carter
