Shouldn't Matilda's Last Name at Birth be Trimm rather than Carter?
posted by Sharon Casteel
Carter-12574 and Carter-1998 do not represent the same person because: The names are the same, 1998 wife is wrong, 1998 has kid listed that are wrong
posted by Leslie Carter
Carter-12574 and Carter-1998 appear to represent the same person because: These two Carters are the same person I add the newer one not knowing he had a number. The birth date is not the same but all the brothers are the same. they are listed in the Pratt book here.
