email from Wendy Abraham 29/11/2006 -
Wendy has received a message from "Barrie" a descendent of William & Eliza which puts in doubt the parenthood of William. The logic of of Barrie's research has made me change the link from William (b 1793 Midsomer Norton) and Ann (b 1798 Leigh on Mendip) to James"Hi Wendy
Thanks very much for your prompt reply and the other sources of information.
However I feel that you possibly have the wrong parents for William!
I''''ve seen that tree quoted on the ''''Ancestry World Tree Project''''
If you check the Burial register for Midsomer Norton No.1016 Sept 4th 1837 it records the burial of William Carpenter infant of Clapton ie. 4 days after the baptism of William and Ann''''s son. (Baptism No. 147)
The 1841 census for Clapton gives Wm Carpenter (1 month), Elizabeth Lane(20)- parents Francis and Ann.
James Carpenter farmer of Ston Easton married Elizabeth Lane, father Francis Lane, at MSN on 16th Feb 1841. William was baptised 6th June 1841 at MSN.
William Carpenter was buried at Radstock 5th August 1908 aged 68 years (Burial No. 452)
I may be wrong but it seems pretty conclusive.
With best wishes
