Descendants of William CARPENTER b circa 1785 Somerset

Notes


Emma Jane CARPENTER

gave child as Spinster. Child's Interment was signed by Fred Carpenter and child was buried with Frederick Charles (10681) which was also signed by Fred Charles and so must be related. Doc also says child is grandchild of owner. Owner is Fred as 10681 shows Fred as owner.

FreeBMD has Emma Jane married Qtr Jun 1890
District Pontypridd Vol 11a Pg 582
Possible spouse is
Henry Wilson or John Evans


Charles Henry CARPENTER

inserted from Treorchy Cemetery Interment document 32238. This shows address as 36 Brynhyfryd Place, Treorchy. This is the same address as Fred at the same time. Looking at ages, the current presumption is that Charles Henry is son.

Job VRANCH

Job seems to have married Ann's younger sister Jane after Ann's death. I am sure this was illegal in the 19th century but if they didn't say anything or married in a parish where only one or neither of the parties were known then it would be done.

Margaret Maud DAYE

Not convinced that Margaret is the daughter of this William. Possible Granddaughter? There are William's born in the right time and general area that could be her father and son of other William.
