Hi there, I'm struggling to follow my Carter line back any further.

Robert Henry Carter born 1785 in Somerset is as far back as I can get this particular line. Here's what I know about him -

Robert Henry Carter
1785 - 1813
Born, lived and died in Somerset
Had a wife called Sarah Stokes
Son called Henry Carter born 1812 (Henry Carter married Mary Marchant)


Any help please? Just can't get further back and feel like I've hit a brick wall.

Thank you :)

Malyon- the 1850 death you posted cannot be correct as that Robert was only a child:

CARTER, ROBERT HENRY 3
