Hi there, i am looking for the birth of a Marrietta Avies Carter born c1855 in Sussex. Tried searching the records but having no luck. Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

I know this is not the right woman - but I wonder if there is some connection:-

Births Mar 1874 (>99%)

Depending on which part of Sussex she was born you might find some info on the Sussexweald site.

Hi Heather and many thanks. We were only searching birth records at the moment on here and two other sites but no luck on any of them. Hadn;t got round to the census, sorry. Yes that appears to be her, the parents seem to be right also. Thanks it is much appreciated. Hopefully it will be easier to get the birth details now.

Dont buy credits on here, that info on the marriage was free on freebmd.

Well, as I said they didnt have to register her til 1875

BUT, what if they hadnt decided on a name when they did register her (unusual name, took a bit of thought)

Possible: ?? You could order it and specify the parents names

Births Jun 1855
Carter Female Lewes 2b 147

Thanks again Heather it is much appreciated. Too late for the credits, afraid i already subscribed to this site, full membership but will do Ancestry.co.uk next time.
Thanks for your time and help.

Ony

If you buy the above birth cert for £7 from GRO online for the "Female" Carter - just specify father and mothers names on your order.

Thanks Heather, we will order that now. Many thanks as always,

Ony

I hope its the right one - if not, at least you wont have lost all the price of the cert. Did they register all the other kids?

Im not sure about the other kids to be honest Heather. We have only just managed to get back as far as Marrietta herself. It didn't help having three Marrietta in a row on the family tree....lol
