Find Ancestors

I have also found out that Thomas and Eliza are buried in Abbey Lane Cemetery, Sheffield, together with their son John :-)

So my hunch was correct, nice one :-D

I have now received the birth certificate for thomas carter born 1910 and his parents were thomas carter (park keeper) and eliza parry. :-)

None of us know, we all can look at the censuses.
In addition, we would apply for birth or marriage certificates to find out the correct parents using the additional information that they contain.

Do you mean this 'Awood'?

I have found a Thomas Carter born 1879 in the 1881 census who also appears in the 1891 with the same parents could this be the father of thomas carter born 1910, or is it more likely to be the tom carter whose father is Awood carter does anyone know :-S

I will do unfortunately it takes about four weeks to get the certificates but I'll let you know, thanks again for your help :-D

Ok Clare, do let us know the outcome when you receive it please.
Good luck and fingers crossed.
Catherine

Thanks we're applying for the birth certificate of Thomas Carter born 1910 as you say at least we will know for definite of the mother's maiden name.

:-)

Billinghay, was registration district Sleaford so this could well be birth for Thomas:-

Births Mar 1879 (>99%)
Carter Tom Sleaford 7a 463

The district Sleaford is in the county of Lincolnshire
which covered Billinghay, Lincolnshire from 1837 - 1889

.............................which makes 1901 census I found even more likely to be correct.

Hi Clare,
I would strongly recommend though that you buy one of the birth certificates just to make sure as it would be a shame to go on and research Eliza Parry only to find at a later stage that it was incorrect and have to start all over again.

Brilliant thank you think we are on the right track with eliza parry :-)

There is also a birth that would fit with name Walter, although not same area:-

Births Mar 1915 (>99%)
Carter Walter Parry Birkenhead 8a 876

.............but with the job Thomas had, it is possible that he travelled quite a bit.

Taking a look for an Eliza Parry in 1901 census, there is this one, with same age and place of birth as Eliza married to Thomas in 1911 census, and she is living Sheffield, so this one is looking good:-
