and landlord of the Ash Tree Inn , Birkdale. On their marriage Thomas and

was married to Thomas sister Mary lived in the Old Ash Tree Farmhouse.

another old lady Nancy Ball.

Notes for EDWIN CARR:
Edwin Carr - Known as 'Ned' - Born at Preston.  His father came to live in
Preston to work for a haulage firm getting 1/- per week more.   Edwin
became an Insurance collector for the Prudential Insurance.   He met Laura
Sophia Hall and married her in 1909 when he was 45 year old.  At the time
of his marriage he lived at 171 De Lacy Street Preston.  His father's name
was James (deceased) and was recorded as a carter.
Just prior to his wedding his sister died
He was prone to illnesses and at one time resided at a convalescent home
near Bury - his illness not recorded in the letters.
I have photo copy letters from Laura to Leonard & Bertha at Windermere on
various subjects mostly household and visiting the Lakes.
I have their certificate of marrage. Plus copy of the funeral arrangements.
 To hire a hearse and 1 carr in 1935 cost £3.17.0.
Very devout Methodist, no drinking, gambling, etc.  But I believe from my
father that he had a good sence of humour.
Buried at St Anne's Church, Woodplumpton, Nr Preston  Grave no 398 on

Notes for LAURA SOPHIA HALL:
Laura Sophia Hall - Married at the age of 39 in 1909 and had three boys! 
Before her wedding, she became a companion to a Mrs Twist and went with her
to Australia at the turn of the century.  She was in the process of going
to South America with the same Mrs Twist but she met Edwin Carr and married
him.
At the time of her wedding she resided at 8 Elmsley Street Preston and her
father's occupation is stated as a librarian.
She was a well educated woman who would have gone far if she had had the
opportunity to go to higher education.  She always stated 'There is no need
to sware - there are enough words in the English language to state what
your feelings are and what you  want without reverting to swaring'.
She 'hero worshiped' her family and the Hall side of the family too much.
Buried at St Anne's Church, Woodplumpton Nr Preston.

34th Foot , mother Caroline Hall formerly SMITH.
She had been brought up in army barracks and lived within army life until
her twenties (so we think).   She would have liked to have had an
university education and was quite capable of doing so, but her step mother
would not hear of it she said Laura can go into service it was good enough
for me it is good enough for her.
It is also known that at some time in her early life she was billited out
with a sergeant and his wife and lived somewhere around the Durham area. 
The name of the house was Wyburn this was to become the name of the
bungalow that was built at Cottam by her husband Edwin later.
She hated slang and bad language she once said to Robert if you cant
express yourself with the English you know without degrading yourself in
slang or bad language you are better not speaking at all.
Everyone who knew her liked her she was come a day go a day and towards the
end of her life she lived with her neice from her husbands side.  Grace was
very particular about housework and everything had to be in its place,
whereas Laura was not very particular.  If it was left to Laura the house
would be mixed up.  
She was kind and with recollection as a child I was very fond of my
grandmother.  She acquired diabetes in later life but was controlled by
diet.  I can remember visiting her every sunday after church to be met with
cauliflower and butter and I always had some.   
Percy Hall always liked to holiday with his aunt Laura as she would allow
him to go anywhere, anytime and have his meals at all times of the day, she
was so laid back.
It is also recorded that she was a founding member of a religous sect
called the Cooneys (I think that is the word) after a Reverent Cooney.   It
was run very much like the Quakers but not entirely the same.   They would
visit each others houses and help out if help was needed at anyone's home
who belonged to the movement.   
Father said that she went to Australia as a companion to a lady (not Lady
with a capital L) We don't know much about this side of her life.   Dad
also said that she was to go to South America with this same lady but when
they returned back to Preston she met and married Edwin Carr six years her
senior in 1909.   
After writing to Nora Phelps another slant on this was given.  She said
that she went to America (or Australia) to promote the religous sect.  We
do not know at this time.
She, we know became a confidant and helper to a Mrs W P Twist.  (Is this
the lady who she travelled to Australia with?)   From viewing the
photographs and assessing the ages of the two women it lookes like they
knew each other for a number of years at least 20.
Questions to be answered:     Who is this Mrs Twist was she the leader of
the sect?
What year did they travel to Australia?  When did they return?
Can we find a will of WP Twist
If So was Laura a beneficiary?
How did the burial plot become part of the Carr Family as there is no
connection with Woodplumpton until later in the 1930s.        Her first son
Edwin junior was not buried at Woodplumpton although it was thought he was.
 
Who is buried first in the grave at Woodplumpton - Is it Mrs Twist?
