Catherine posted an inquiry regarding Alice Carter. My great-grandfather had a sister named Alice, a person we know nothing about. She was most likely born a few years before 1900 (1894 or 1897 -- see explanation below). I think it is a long-shot that our Alice would be the same Alice as Catherine's ([email protected]), but maybe. . . ? And if not, maybe someone else will recognize her. Our Alice was probably born in Caroline Co., MD. She had siblings named Arthur Edgar, Lillian May, William B. (prob. Barcus), maybe a sister named Tishca/Tirsce (see note below), Mary, Charles George, Everett Edgar, David, twins Alfred B. and Albert, Agnes, and Marion. Our Alice and her siblings were the children of William George Carter (b. May 25, 1860, prob. PA, maybe MD) and Alverta Dunning (b. April 14, 1867 or 1870 or 1872, MD -- there are conflicting records regarding the year of birth) Note: The 1900 census which is the only census in which I have found our Alice lists her birth date as August 1894. However, she is also listed in descending line between siblings born in 1896 and 1898 (suggesting that the census should read 1897 for Alice's birth year). Furthermore, in that same census Tishca/Tirsce is listed as being born in Apr. 1994 which lends some credence to the theory that our Alice should have been listed as born in 1897 and was 2 instead of 5, since these two children could not have been born a mere 4 months apart. Alice does not appear in the 1910 census. If she were 5 in the 1900 census, she might have married and been out of the household -- however, if she were 2 in the 1900 census, she might have died before the 1910 census. She is not listed as a sibling to my father's grandfather in his family bible, so if she died, she must have died young enough that she was not a topic of discussion regarding family members. Another connundrum: Mary is not listed in the 1900 census; Tishca/Tirsce is not listed in the 1910 census. Mary is 6 in the 1900 census and Tishca/Tirsce is 17 in the 1910 census. Depending on the dates of the census and the dates of their births, Mary and Tishca/Tirsce could be the same child. Also, my father's family bible lists no Tishca/Tirsce as a sibling for his grandfather, but does list a Mary. Does anyone recognize this family? Karen Carter Sandy, UT
