William and Mary Jane Adamthwaite 

One of William and Mary Jane’s sons, George, fought  in the Australian army as a soldier in WW1; he was injured in France in June 1917 and  he convalesced in England .  The photo below was taken by a J. Fairclough in Crook, Co Durham.   George left England to return to Australia at the end of September, 1917.  He would have been about 21 at the time.  

Robert Carter –father of Ann Carter

According to 1851 census, Robert was born about 1795 at Kendal.  IGI has no Robert born about this time (although there was one in 1814 and one in 1818  – visit to Record Office required to trace his birth and parents.  However, the most likely couple to be his parents are Robert Carter (acc to IGI, born about 1754 in Barnard Castle) and Hannah Pearson, who married in 1779 in Kirkby Stephen.

It seems likely that Robert Carter’s first marriage was to Mary Steel, on 25 Jan 1820 at Kirkby Stephen (source IGI)  [check parish records].  According to IGI, they had six children, all baptised in Kirkby Stephen, between 1821 and 1834, four of whom were living close to the Carter family in the 1841 census.  [check parish records and look for burial of Robert’s first wife]

From census information and her death certificate, she would have been born about 1811; Mary gives her place of birth variously as Kendal, Kaber and Crook.  A Mary Dobson was chr 29 aug 1811 in Kendal, parents William Dobson and Elizabeth (Laycock?) (source IGI).         [check parish records]

After Robert’s death in 1864, Mary moved to Co Durham, where she was living with her son Thomas  in 1871 and her grandson William in 1881.

In the index to the 1841 census,  the family were living at Brough Sowerby [HO107/1156 bk 13 f3b]:

• Robert Carter, 44

• Mary, 29

• John, 11

• William, 5

• George, 4

• James, 3

• Hannah, 11m

                                                [check actual image]

and living nearby in Brough were three other Carter males, who in the absence of any other Carters in the area, seem likely to be sons of Robert’s earlier marriage:

• Michael age 14

• Robert age 15

• Thomas age 19

In Asby there was a Mary aged 16

[look for baptisms of these four to see if there is any evidence to link with Ann’s father Robert]
