  • Charlotte Carr

    I have a birth for a Charlotte Carr in the Scottish Old Parish registers of Perth. Born to Duncan Carr and Catherine Brewster on August 9, 1820.

    I am trying to determine if this is the same Charlotte Carr that married John Honey on Dec. 10, 1839 at St Martins Parish.

    This marriage of Charlotte Carr and John Honey produced a Charlotte Honey born 1844 in Scotland.



    Does anyone have ideas to confirm that the infant Charlotte Carr in 1920 is the same one that married John Honey in 1839?

    Have you looked at the marriage cert in 1839? If so, doesn't it give the parents names?

        The Charlotte Carr I'm following married John Honey. I haven't seen a marriage certificate for her, but I imagine the wedding would have been 1840ish.

        I guess this means it's possible that the 1820-born Charlotte Carr I have is the one that married Drew instead of Honey?

        In the 1841 census, Charlotte (Carr) Honey's age suggests she was born in 1820 or 1821, like the Charlotte in my original post.

              Oh, I see what you mean. I have just had a look at it and it doesn't give parents names.

                Don't forget though that on the 1841 census ages of adults were supposed to be rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 so if Charlotte's age was shown as 20 she could have been anywhere between 20 and 24 and so perhaps born as early as 1816

                  There is something really odd. There is only one birth showing for a Charlotte Carr between 1815 and 1822. In 1841 there is a Charlotte Carr living with David Drew - aged 20 born Perthshire -

                    The only way to find out the parents of this Charlotte is (as she married before 1855 in Scotland) to find her death record which should (unless you are unfortunate or she died before 1855) give the names of her father and mother. Do you have her death?

                      In 1851, Charlette [sic, but same spelling as in 1841] HONEY is shown age 30 born Scone

                        In 1861 John is a Widower with likely youngest son Robert age 7 [and likely taken up with Catherine CARR - relation?] as there is a James C[arr?] HONEY age 10 months. This may mean Charle/otte died before 1855 BUT if Catherine is Charlotte's sister all is not lost if the married or you can find her death

                          In 1871 Catherine CARR is not in the household but James (now age 10 is). As Catherine is born Scone in 1861, I think it likely she is Charlotte's sister so these are the poss baptisms:

                          Catharine CARR born 23 Feb 1818 Scone parents Duncan CARR & Catherine BREWSTER
                          Charlotte CARR born 09 Aug 1820 Scone parents ditto

                          A death record for Catherine might just clinch it

                                You are right. Catherine and Charlotte are sisters.

                                I'm now trying in vain to move up the tree from their parents were Duncan Carr and Catharine Brewster.

                                  You know they married 26 Oct 1818 at Scone - do you have this record? It might give some useful information re his occupation. Otherwise, any Scottish death of any child (after 1855) will state occupation of parents. This may give a useful clue for further research.

                                  In 1841: Catherine is 50 born Perthshire with 3 daughters and in 1851 she is 35 [!] born St. Martins Perthshire. St Martins is a parish in the Strathmore district of Perthshire, containing Guildtown village, 6 miles N by E of Perth which is where they are (i.e. Guildtown in 1841 & 1851). It might be worth checking on baptisms there. A further clue in 1851 is that a nephew John HEPBURN is staying (in 1861 he is a Ploughman in Errol) - he might be the son of Catherine's sister. If you can find his baptism or marriage or death to confirm his mother is a BREWSTER then you can focus your BREWSTER research on finding the parents of both Catherine and her sibling.

                                  Duncan is dead by 1841 it would seem, and certainly by 1851 so the only clue at the moment is the marriage in Scone. This is some 4 miles south of Guildtown and I think is the local church. Chances are that Duncan was from Guildtown too - but just a supposition (which may change if his occupation is ascertained). Have you found a burial for him that would indicate his DOB?

                                    Re. Duncan - there is a notice in the Perthshire Courier 16 Aug 1832 re a Duncan CARR - a notice to his creditors - stating he has executed a Trust Deed in favour of David Burns, Writer (i.e. Solicitor) in Perth for his creditors to make any claims to - he presumably went bankrupt or out of business. He is described as Grocer and Spirit Dealer, Guildtown. So could be him

                                      The Duncan Carr that married Charlotte Brewster was a blacksmith.
