| 2. | John (sb James?) Carr of Hexham (d before 10.09.1535) | ||||||||||||||
| BLG1952 shows the 2nd son as James "called John in Philpots Pedigrees". The main source used for the continuation names him John. As shown just below, BLG1952 shows a younger brother (also) named John. | |||||||||||||||
| 3. | John Carr of Hetton (d 02.04.1517) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Jenet Clavering (dau of Robert Clavering of Callaby) | |||||||||||||||
| A. | John Carr 'of Hetton' identified by Vickers as "captain of Wark" | ||||||||||||||

| m. Agnes (Anne) Horsley | |||||||||||||||
| a.+ | issue - John, Annes | ||||||||||||||
| ii. | Thomas Carr (d 01.1558) | ||||||||||||||
| Some web sites identify this Thomas as being 'of Etal' (see here for later Carrs of Etal and Jane, shown below as 2nd wife of Thomas's grandson Thomas). BLG1952 identifies Thomas's wife as Elizabeth, dau/heir of William Heron & cousin/heir of Sir William Heron of Ford and shows no more on this line other than to name Thomas & Elizabeth's children. It appears that she was ... | |||||||||||||||
| m. (c1549) Elizabeth Heron (dau/heir of William Heron son of Sir William of Ford) | |||||||||||||||
| a. | William Carr 'of Forde' (b 11.11.1551, d 01.01.1589) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Ursula Brandling (dau of Henry Brandling of Newcastle) | |||||||||||||||
| Our (downloaded) copy of Vickers's work is not 100% clear on who were and who were not the children of William & Ursula but they appear to be as follows. | |||||||||||||||

| (2) | William Carr of Eshot (a 1606) | ||||||||||||||
| Various web sites show this as the William who was 'groom of the bedchamber to King James I' (possibly confusion with his brother Thomas?) who was father of Lettice by Elizabeth Ord. Vickers just shows that he was father of ... | |||||||||||||||
| (A) | William Carr of Sunnylaws | ||||||||||||||
| (B) | Lettice Carr possibly of this generation | ||||||||||||||
| m. Alexander Popham of Littlecote (d 1669) | |||||||||||||||

| BLG1952 shows that Jane married Anthony Ratclyffe, 2nd son or Sir George Ratclyffe. 'A History of Northumberland' (vol 6, John Crawford Hodgson, 1902, 'Farewell and Radcliffe of Blanchland', p327) shows that she married as follows: | |||||||||||||||

| iv. | Margaret Carr | ||||||||||||||
| BLG1952 identifies Margaret's husband as Thomas Swymborne of Eslyngham. It appears that he was in fact ... | |||||||||||||||
