family address on the census form had changed to Castle Howard Road, Old Malton. At the time of that census William Carter and his wife had six of their own children living at home, with four other teenagers – all described as ‘boarders’, a house steward and two female house servants. So 15 people were living in that household. Then came the move to Slingsby described above. Clearly the Reverend William Carter and his wife must have had some private means. The younger William was sent to Marlborough College for his education, before going up to Cambridge, and later in life joined the Canadian Civil Service working for the Inland Revenue in Ottawa. John was described as a farmer in the 1861 census (and living with his parents) and much more sadly described as an ‘imbecile’ in the 1871 census. The third son Edmund Sardinson was at Durham School and Oxford. The fourth son Arthur went to Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1869 and, like his father, entered the Church with cricket being his great social interest. Years later in September 1893 Edmund Carter conducted the wedding of brother Arthur who was then Rector of St Michael, Brooksby, in Leicestershire. Arthur meantime had played one match for MCC in 1885, Slingsby Church 10
