Albert E Carling - Leeds
I am researching this name for my second cousin. Her maternal grandmother was Emily Christina Carling born in Mile End. Emily's parents were Albert E. Carling (Bootmaker) born Leeds around 1850 and Margaret?? born Islington around 1856.
Having found the family on the 1901 census,the only individual I can find on the 1881 census with this surname, around the right age and born in Leeds, is an Edwin Carling - boot rivetter - who is lodging in Mile End. Edwin fits in with his middle initial of course, so I gather that for some reason he used either name.
Would appreciate any information on Carlings from Leeds. TIA
