The Carr firm was a family firm of Quaker origin and the youngest son of the Carr family was Ernest Carr. Since his other brothers were well-established in the management of the firm, Ernest was advised to branch out into some line of business other than the manufacture of biscuits. He chose jam, and in 1912 formed Carr, White & Co. Ltd. Jam & Preserve Manufacturers, who built a factory in Wigton near Carlisle. His business prospered, particularly during WW1. His firm sold the Wigton factory in 1920 and Carr decided to move with his family to a pleasanter climate than that of England. At first he considered emigrating to California, but finally decided on Kenya which he had heard about on his business trips to Madagascar to buy fruit for the jam factory. ……… In December 1920, therefore, Ernest Carr and his wife arrived in Nairobi with their son and 4 daughters. They stayed first in the Muthaiga Club until they found a small stylish stone-built house set in a garden amid a small area of indigenous forest in Lenana Road.
