The collection is the physical property of the Yale Center for British Art. Literary rights, including copyright, belong to the authors or their legal heirs and assigns. For further information, consult the Archives Department.
Scope and Content:
Three copies of a genealogical chart, privately printed in December, 1887. The chart documents the Carr family of Eshott Heugh beginning with the marriage of Thomas William Carr to Frances Morgan (a match which resulted in eight children, many of whom feature prominently in the present collection). All three copies are annotated (to varying degrees) by Thomas William Carr (of Barming). The first copy includes minimal additional information concerning T.W. Carr's own entry, that of his wife Harriet, and that of his sister Lucy Emily. The second copy has 10 additional pages bound in (preceding the chart) in which Carr has written out a series of genealogical tables showing the descent of the Ellison and Woodward branches of the Carr family. Interspersed are biographical notes on members of the family. Also laid in to this section is a photographic reproduction of a portrait miniature of Matthew Carr Hexham. The third and final copy contains the most prolific additions. These include: several printed pedigrees of the Carr family, from unidentified sources; manuscript notes on Carr arms, mottos, and genealogical matters; a heavily annotated version of the title genealogical chart; several pages of notes, much later, recording "Egerton-Warburton Cousins"; and a printed chart showing the "Pedigree of Bonner of Newcastle-on-Tyne."
