Caleb Carr was baptised 1772 at Longbenton. Next information I have is the baptism in 1795 at Tynemouth of a daughter – Ann daughter of Caleb and Mary Carr, formerly Vardy, labourer of Shiremoor. I cannot find any record of the marriage of Caleb and Mary Vardy or the baptism or death of Mary, but Caleb married Elizabeth Hume in 1796 at Tynemouth. They had six children before Elizabeth died in 1807. In 1808 Caleb married Rachel Smith at Longbenton. They had ten sons (Don’t mention the good old days) before the deaths of Rachel 1848 and Caleb 1851, Ann was unmarried and lived with her father until her death. I cannot find any information about Mary Vardy in spite of spending many hours pawing through records. Can anyone help please? Winifred Hellens

Hi Winifred, Have you checked no conformist records for the marriage of Calem CARR & Mary VARDY? I have checked www.familysearch.org and they have listed Ann as being baptised 26 July 1795 to Caleb CARR father and Mary VARDY mother,(from film 1068907) so maybe they did not marry.
