  Noted events in his life were:

1. Alt. Birth, Cir 1870, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ²²⁵

2. Census: 1901 Census of Canada, Household of William and Bessie Carter, St. Anne Ward, 1901, Montreal, Québec, Canada. ⁴⁸³⁷ This event was shared with Bessie KINSELLA and William CARTER.

5. Census: Household of William Carter, St. Ann's Ward, 1911, Montreal, Québec, Canada. ⁴⁸⁴⁰ Note there are significant errors on the 1911 Census. I believe the occupation adjacent to Elizabeth's name, "Detective", should be beside her husband's. This would imply that he had moved up from being a common labourer with the CPR to being a railway detective.

Also, he and Elizabeth are shown as being born in Québec, though their birth dates are more or less correct.
