I cannot find a son William for this couple. Why I am looking at Doncaster is that on the registers for the birth of William's children in Barwick in Elmet, it says ....son or daughter of William Carr, Kiddal Lane End, Innkeeper, descended from John and Elizabeth Carr, Doncaster and Alice, descended from William and Ann Mason, Eastby. Now I am not sure if this means that they were living in Doncaster at the time of the baptism of their grandchild or that they originated in Doncaster, same for the Masons. The other problem is is that the only marriage I can find of a William Carr and Alice Mason took place in London on 27 March 1769 in St Marylebone. The possibility is that as William's occupation was innkeeper, then maybe his father was also, and maybe they moved about a bit - but this is pure speculation. If you have the Eastby records, maybe if you have time, you could check the Mason's marriage and Alice's birth. Appreciate your help and interest.
