Nfld. Archives
21 August 1964

Dear Doctor MacPherson,

On getting your letter of the 19th about Sir F. B. T. Carter's 1846 marriage to Miss Bailey of Hr. Grace, I felt sure she was one of the family there from whom my friends the late Canon A. G. Bayly, of Bonavista, and his nephew, Philip Bayly Rendell, of St. John's, descend, and rang up the latter to make sure. He told me that was the case, and added that he had given you some details about it. He said that there were three brothers about 1830 here, James Bayly, of Hr. Grace, from whom he is descended (I always knew that the Canon's forebears were of Hr. Grace placement), George Bayly, fahter of Lady Carter, and Robert Bayly, Customs Officer of Trinity, who married a Miss Kelson. The correct spelling of the name is Bayly, by the way. Miss Kelson was a sister of William Kelson, Jr., one of whose two daughters was the wife of George Mews and thus the mother of Arthur Mews and his siblings (wot a word!). A daughter of this Bayly-kelson marriage, Jessie Elizabeth, married in 1866 John Shears (presumably of Openahall, B.B.); perhaps this couple were the direct grandparents of the late Rev. Hugh Kirby and his first cousin, the late Max Shear who died here about a year ago. I have a file on the Carter family which you can see at any time.

Your sincerely,

N. C. Crewe

050721:

On the Vital Statistics record of the birth of their son, Frederick John Weston Carter, her second name is shown as Fergus. This also appears amongst her secondary names in Jean Carter Stirlings research notes but nowhere else that I have seen. But I suspect it was a transcription error initially that was subsequently repeated, as these things almost always are, lending it credibility it did not deserve.

Christopher Carter who has contributed much information on this family on FamilySearch has several other children in the family - CHarles R. Duder Carter, Elizabeth Jane Buchan Carter, Louisa Carter, Maud Carter. But with no sources for his information and no details on these children other than their names so I am not adding them here. It is possible their names appear in a family bible and that they died at childbirth or soon thereafter.
