There have been Carter families in the parish of Barton Stacey since at least 1700.

However, it has not been possible to connect them in a line of descent. The name was

common in adjacent parishes and it appears that they moved between parishes over

the years.

This account includes:

• GEORGE CARTER of Newton Stacey (Barton Stacey parish), died 1732.

• JOHN CARTER of Barton Stacey, born perhaps early 1760s, died 1837, married

Ann Baverstock on 7 October 1782 at Bullington, Hampshire.

• CHARLES CARTER of Bransbury (Barton Stacey parish), born in Wherwell in

1812, lived in Bransbury until 1876, married 1. Jane Pearcey, married 2.

Harriet Cooper.

• THOMAS CARTER, of Hill Farm, Barton Stacey in the 1870s.

• HENRY CARTER, farm worker of Tangley and Newton Stacey, born about 1835

in Mildenhall, Wiltshire, married Emily Burgess, moved around 1865 to

Newton Stacey. Their descendants are still in the parish of Barton Stacey

today.

18th Century

There is evidence of two men called George Carter living in the parish of Barton Stacey in the early

18th century. The parish registers of All Saints have survived only from 1713 and it is possible

that there were members of a Carter family in the parish before that date.

Further, we can speculate that these two men were father and son, rather than cousins. The

evidence is as follows, though the facts can be interpreted in other ways.

GEORGE CARTER of Newton Stacey hamlet, Barton Stacey parish, died in 1732 and was buried

at All Saints, the parish church of Barton Stacey, on 19 December. Eleanor Carter had died a year

earlier; she was buried as the wife of George Carter on 7 August 1731.

Possible children of George Carter,

i. GEORGE, of Newton Stacey, married Ann and had one child baptised at Barton Stacey.

He was perhaps the George Carter who married Anne Leigh at Wonston church in

1719.

Ann, the wife of George Carter, was buried on 11 September 1735 at Barton Stacey.

He perhaps married Elizabeth Hatchard of Barton Stacey on 5 September 1737 at

Barton Stacey. Elizabeth Carter was buried on 18 April 1746, George Carter on 3

November 1765.

A daughter of George and Ann Carter,

Ruth, baptised 6 May 1722, daughter of George and Ann Carter of Newton, the

first reference to the surname Carter in Barton Stacey parish. She died aged

about 16 and was buried on 3 August 1738.

A daughter of George and Elizabeth Carter,

Mary, baptised 28 November 1738. She married William Godwin of Barton

Stacey in December 1765.

ii. Ruth. She married Charles Davis of Barton Stacey on 22 April 1728.

There were no further baptisms of Carter children at All Saints', Barton Stacey until 1789 (when

one Carter baptism took place) and then no more until 1814 (one baptism). There were only three

burials and then not until 1820 and 1837, suggesting only one or two Carter families were living
