CARR, Katherine Worked circa. 1670 London UK. Wife of John Carr, above. Ran a musical instrument shop associated with her husband’s printed music business in Fleet Street, near Middle Temple Gate, London c.1670-1672. State papers show that in 1672 one of her apprentices ‘in the trade of instruments’, John Hudgebut, was pressed (taken to serve in the navy) by a Captain Sadlington, who told her that ‘if she would give him a violin out of her shop, he would release the ‘prentice’’. The boy was subsequently discharged from the ship ‘Dartmouth’ as a result of Katherine Carr’s deposition.
