Did You Know?

  • According to the Bishopwearmouth Bishop's Transcripts Nicholas Carr and Henry Carr, sons of Ann Bowhill and Francis Carr, were born six months apart. This seems very unlikely to me biologically speaking!
  • There are entries in the GRO birth index for John Carr and Richard Carr but no corresponding baptisms, and baptisms for Nicholas Carr and Henry Carr sons of Francis Carr and Ann Bowhill in the Bishop's Transcripts but no entries in the index, so I wonder if it's possible if they were the same people but were given different names. Nicholas's day of birth (4th June) was the same as John's, and the pairs never appear in the same census together - the 1841 census has John, 1851 has Nicholas and Richard, and 1861 has Nicholas and Henry.
