Re: Searching in the forum

Thanks, Dave, I really appreciate your efforts here!

Elaine, not looking for anything specific. I just check back here every year or so to see if I can find any Carr rellies who might have more info about my great-grandmother, born (illegitimate) Anna-Maria Carr/Hannah Maria Carr in Rawmarsh in 1850, christened Elizabeth Carr at St Mary's Ecclesfield when she was adopted, then became known in the family as Sarah when she married. (I think this is because she and her husband John Dawson lodged with his sister Elizabeth and her husband, who was also called John, so two couples of the same name under the same roof must have got a bit confusing.)

A lovely lady I met through this site helped me out with the details of Elizabeth's early life, and I have a copy of her marriage certificate to John Dawson, but the fact that my Yorkshire Dawson cousins swear blind that her name was Sarah has always puzzled us. My mum always thought she was called Elizabeth, so she does seem to have had multiple names

I bet you wish you hadn't asked now!
