Generation 4:
8. Joseph CARR (abt 1774 - d. 16 Jan 1850 Chester le Street)
There are three Joseph Carr's baptisms at Chester le Street during the years 1771 - 1777. With Ann Ross's research I was able to find the orginal records and the parents of these Joseph's marriage entries. Ann Ross had eliminated the one in 1771 because of the death of Joseph Sr and Joseph Jr in a mining accident. This leaves the one baptized in 1774 son of Stephen and Mary (ATKINSON) CARR and the one baptized in 1777 son of Joseph and ANN (LOFTUS) CARR. The last names of the mothers were gotten when I found their marriage entries.
If you look at the marriage entry of Joseph CARR and Jane PALMER, one of the witnesses is a Betty ATKINSON, which supports the Stephen and Mary (ATKINSON) CARR family even more. The names of other children in Stephen and Mary's family have been past down through the generation, where as those in Joseph and Ann's family has not. Still not enough proof to say with a 100% certainty, but getting closer.
