Mary Maria Carter (née Mary Maria Maplethorpe)
and Joseph Carter
Church of St. Margaret of Antioch, Marton

This photograph of my great grandparents Mary Maria CARTER (née Mary Maria MAPLETHORPE) and Joseph CARTER was probably taken circa 1960 outside the Church of St. Margaret of Antioch which stands on the junction of Trent Port Road with High Street, Marton, Lincolnshire.

Mary Maria married twice, her first marriage to Samuel DIXON took place at the Church of St. Margaret of Antioch on the 15th of September, 1897. Samuel DIXON died from Tuberculosis on the 20th of November 1906 at Kexby, Lincolnshire, at the relatively young age of 37 years.

This marriage produced 3 children:

Charles Edward DIXON 1898-
Alice DIXON 1899-
and my grandmother Ivy DIXON born 5th October 1901.

After the death of Samuel DIXON, Mary married Joseph CARTER during June 1913.

This marriage produced 2 children:

Harold CARTER born September 1913
Kathleen CARTER born June 1917

Note: 1 Mary Maria is commonly known as Granny Carter.

Note: 2 MAPLETHORPE or MABLETHORPE? This branch of the family seems to use either of these surnames depending on the generation.
