My mothers Grandmother was Mary Ann Poynton who married John Carter c1880.John had a sister Tamar, presumably named after her garndmother Tamar Williamson who married Samuel Carter in 1799 in Hugglescote near Coalville.
I thought as an unusual name then repeated in the Poynton family around 1880 it might signify a close link between the Carters and the Poyntons.When is the first recorded use of the name Tamar Poynton?
