KDB Report 14 Oct 2013 20:08

I am looking for the descendants of Benjamin Carr 1788 of Heslington, York. He was the son of Jane Kirk 1751 of Acomb, York and William Carr of Heslington York.

Does anyone know of this family?

There are 2 other people on genes who have Benjamin in their trees.
Have you contacted them?

As there could be hundreds of descendants of Benjamin, which children, grand-children etc etc have you managed to identify?

Thank-you

Thanks.

How did you work back to him?

Why do you think he had any descendants?

Have you looked for a marriage?
