14/12/02:Children: 1. Gertrude Sophia Carr
I have deduced from the Surname of the spouse and the fact that she has the same Christian name as one of John Thomas Carr Wheeler's siblings that she is in fact his aunt and have therefore included her as such in the family file. Also, James Wheeler, Margaret Wheeler are listed as witnesses. I have already determined that James is likely a brother of Joseph Wheeler John Thomas Carr's father.
090703: Both were previously unmarried at time of marriage to one another.
