Inscription
In Loving Memory of
WILLIAM WELLINGTON CARTER
Who died August 18th 1934 age 62 years
William Wellington Carter (1871 – 18 August 1934)
William was the son of Charles and Sarah (nee Haggis) Carter. He was born in Clifton, Bedfordshire, but baptised in Chesterton, Cambridge on 23rd June 1872. His father was a publican and groom, and he was raised at the 5 Bells Inn in Henlow.
Aged 21 years old in 1891 he was a ship broker’s clerk. He married Elizabeth Parker around 1892 and they had three daughters: Elizabeth (1892-), Mabel Gladys (1897-1965) and Dorothy (1900-). All their daughters were born in Brighton, so William and Elizabeth must have spent their early married life there. By 1910 they had moved to Cambridge and lived at 209 Mill Road until William’s death in 1934.
The 1911 census shows that William was working as a travelling salesman for Portland Cement. He died at Ashvale in Surrey, however probate records show that his permanent residence was at 209 Mill Road, Cambridge at the time. He left an estate valued at £629 2s 1d.
