Need marriage(s) for Willoughby Harcourt Carter before and after he emigrated from England to Australia in 1879. He lived in Victoria for much of his life and also either lived with or married Annie Moffatt Morton (no record of marriage) but they did have 5 children (including my grandmother) Any help would be great.
Thanks

Hi Kay. Take care when searching this as there must be more than one William Harcourt Carter.

The one given to you, when he married Eliza cannot be the one you want as they appear on several Census records, and he was a J P, on one of them and had a house with several servants. He died 1900 in Kent.

Ethel.

There is this birth in 1853 but no marriage listed before 1879. He could be the son of the WHC who married Eliza in the March quarter of the same year.

This is him on the 1861 but I can't find him listed after that His father WHC at this time is Chief Constable of Bucks Police and a retired Army Captain.

I'm not so sure it's wrong Annie. Kay is looking for A Willoughby born in 1853 which this one was. I think Ethel meant that his father who married Eliza was the wrong one but when I picked it up you had deleted your posts so I wasn't sure what had gone on. You were probably quite correct in your findings.
The only problem is I can't find his passage to Australia in 1879. I can't find him in the census after 1861either. But I think Kay only wanted to know if he married here before he left and I can't find a marriage for him.
