_Sir George Carr_ (Vol. vii., pp. 512. 558.).--Since W. ST. and GULIELMUS
replied to my Query, I have discovered more particular information
regarding him. In a MS. in Trinity College, Dublin, I find the following:
"Sir George Carr of Southerhall, Yorkshire, married, on Jan.
15, 1637, Grissell, daughter of Sir Robert Meredith, Chancellor
of the Exchequer in Ireland; their son, William Carr, born
Jan. 11, 1639, married {328} on August 29, 1665, Elizabeth,
daughter of Francis (Edward) Synge, Bishop of Cork. There were
two children of this marriage: Edward, born Oct. 7, 1671 (who
died unmarried); and Barbara, born May 12, 1672; she married
John Cliffe, Esq., of Mulrankin, co. Wexford, and had several
children, of whom the eldest, John, was grandfather of the
present Anthony Cliffe of Bellevue, co. Wexford, Esq."
Edward Synge was Bishop of Cork from Dec. 1663 to his death in 1678.
Sir George Carr appears to be the son of William Carr, the eldest son of
James Carr of Yorkshire: see Harl. MS. 1487, 451.
Sir Robert Meredith, father of Lady Carr, married Anne, daughter of Sir
William Upton, Clerk of the Council in Ireland.
Could any of your correspondents give any account of the family of either
of them?
