Families covered: Carr of Etal

                               
TCB (vol 2, 'Kerr afterwards Carr (of Greenhead)', p429) reports that the undermentioned Sir William, '8th Bart', claimed that he was cousin and heir male of the 7th Bart but also reports that his pedigree "is unknown" yet states that "He was descended from Col. Sir Robert Carr, of Etal ... (presumably of Scottish descent)". Provisionally, we presume to show that that Sir Robert was son of the following William whom we show on the continuation as one of the younger sons of Sir Andrew of Greenhead. William is shown on 'A History of Northumberland' (vol 11, Kenneth Vickers, 1922, 'Carr of Ford', p391) as 1st husband of the following Jane and father of Robert, identified as ancestor of the Carrs of Etal, and 6 other children. Note that some other web sites report that some (earlier) Carrs of Etal were connected to the Carrs of Hetton & Forde which connection would indeed come (albeit indirectly) through William's marriage to Jane.

  This was the William, mentioned above, who claimed that he was cousin and heir male of Sir Robert Kerr, 8th Bart. However, Vickers reports that he "disclaimed" that in a codicil to his will. This seems not to have stopped his brother from also assuming "the style of baronet".
