 Martha was the girl next door who had moved to the area in the early 1900's.   Martha was at this time a mother to Fred Billany who had been born five years earlier.   Martha and John had a son born 15th November 1912 named Richard John Carter .  

 

 

    

 

 Richard's entire working life was spent with Hull City Council and they lived in Chiltern Street for almost 70 years.  Richards mother on one side, Maud and then sister Anne at the other.

 

     The houses in Chiltern Street, Hull, were demolished during the early 1970's to make way for the extended ground facilities of Hull Rugby Football Club. The name Chiltern Street, Hull, is still featured on the city plan although it extends only 20 metres or so.   There are now no residential properties, a chapter in the historical record of the Carter/Billany family ceases to exist.

 

    

 

Because of age and failing health, in 1966,  Richard and Martha moved to South Lane, Hessle,  to be cared for by daughter-in-law Doris and son John Richard.    Martha died at 10 South Lane in 1971. 

 

     Richard died in Kingston General Hospital, Hull in 1978; 3 days after Doris had suddenly passed away.   All were cremated at the Crematorium in Hull.
