Carpenter, Andrew (1696-1730)

Carpenter, Andrew, Westminster, London, carver (1696–1730). Married Ann Billingsley at Holy Trinity Church in 1696 when he was described as being resident in the parish of St Ann, Westminster. In 1730 his address was St George's, Hanover Sq. He is almost certainly the Carpenter who was paid on 9 May 1701 for carved work ‘in his Majesties garden at Kensington’. The entry appears in a Garden account bk, 1696–1702, for the royal gardens of William III, kept for the Earl of Portland by Caspar Frederick Henning. [Marriage reg; Lincoln RO, 3ANC 8/19; Worcs. RO, 2252/705: 366/2]
