Richard CarrI have just found your site and am trying to trace family back. I was born in Southport and some of the family seem to have been there back in 1800 or so. Does anyone have any records of a Richard Carr who married an Alice Heaton. They were born in about 1807 and 1811 and had a daughter Mary Ann born in 17.2.1845??
Jeremy Hopkinson PS My grandmother was a Polly Porter and her grandfather was Thomas Porter who married Mary Ann Carr on 14 1 1864 |

Richard carrThanks for the census copy. The details are those on thew Ancestry site but please note that the Margaret A is a mess reading of Mary A. I was trying to see if it is possible, reasonably easily, to get back before this record. There seem to be several Richard Carr s all born about the same time in North Meols and I wondered if there had been any deeper research in this family. |

Jeremy it may be of benefit to you to join the society. I'm sure there are other people researching that surname.
As a member your interests of research would be printed in our magazine so other members could contact you. You could also contact others researching that name. And hopefully find a link The society has copies of the North Meols Parish records as well as other things - one name extracts for example. All details are on our web site (see publications page) - www.nmfhssouthport.co.uk And of course if you live locally you can come along to one of our monthly meetings and see just how friendly we are
