Thanks for contributing to the article Walter Carpenter. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 18:49, 14 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The previous version of this article stated that Walter Carpenter had no children. I am the volunteer who since 2006 has maintained the family trees for the Trustees of Kiplin Hall, North Yorkshire, which Walter owned from 1868 until his death in 1904.  Kiplin's own archives contain a multitude of private letters, diaries, photos and scrapbooks confirming the existence of Sarah, Walter's only daughter  -  but I can fully understand that Wikipedia quite rightly needs publicly accessible references.
 * The best link I can offer is the online family tree (which I drew myself) at http://history.kiplinhall.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Bridget-Talbots-family-tree.pdf  In turn all the births marriages and deaths therein are supported by GRO references.  Sarah's own birth appears in Quarter: Jun 1876, District: St George's Hanover Square, Volume: 1a, Page: 387
 * This is the only Wikipedia article I have ever amended, and I hope there is sufficient information above that you can insert the appropriate reference(s) to the article on my behalf since I doubt my own ability to do so.
 * Thank you

 * Hi - Thanks for that. I have removed the bit about him having no children which was clearly incorrect. What we really need is reliable published information (see WP:RS). The family tree has not been published so I don't think we can use that, but if you come across something published which refers to Sarah, then please let us know. Best wishes.

 * Sarah Carpenter ("Sally") married Christopher Hatton Turnor on 7 Aug 1907, as recorded in your own Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hatton_Turnor  This correctly identifies her as Admiral Walter Carpenter's only daughter.  Hope this is sufficient.
