Find Ancestors

thankyou all for helping with carr threads, all info is useful thanks again.

I see you have given Joseph's birth year as 1917 on a new thread - you need to delete it. Is this him?

Births Mar 1917 (>99%)
Carr Joseph Davison Gateshead 10a 1537

Births Mar 1918 (99%)
Carr Joseph McHugh Gateshead 10a 1715

I am Pretty sure hisdads namewas William Carr, and his Mum was Elizabeth...his father died when he was small .. i never knew either of my grandparents
Thanks

my mate tony carr was born there.
his dad and grandad worked in the mines.
his parents are still alive.
he is decendant i think swedish/russian however when i see him soon i txt you more info to you.
his dad i think has written a book, and he is an artist in that area.
keep looking, i really feel it is the same family, as the surname is unusual.
be in touch soon, regards,
kim.

What is Joseph's father's name, if you have it?
Thanks

The most obvious thing is to get his marriage cert. to findout his age plus father's details. Otherwise you can look for the children's births on Freebmd and see if a common maternal surname shows up.

Backwards if possible... trying to find Joseph's parents, but have no dates to go on for them, apart from names

This marriage:
Marriages Mar 1941
Carr Joseph Illingworth Gateshead 10a 1889
Illingworth Catherine E S Carr Gateshead 10a 1889
What information, forwards or backwards, do you want?

Catherine, first thing to do is to look for matches in other people's trees. Apart from that, what sort of info are you after?
