message: The article claims Carey was a shoemaker.  It was my understanding Carey was a Cobbler, someone who repaired shoes.  Does anyone know? Notthe9 20:26, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

message: From my reading of Carey's life, he experienced alot of resistance to his work from the British East India Company.  Perhaps this should be added to the article?

replies: text: If you can cite sources, do so.  Be aware that the BEIC was in Inida as much a government as a business for at least part of Carey's mission.  GRBerry 09:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In the Late India section, the following paragraph appears:
She had long since ceased to be a useful member of the mission, and in fact was actually a hindrance to its work. John Marshman wrote how Carey worked away on his studies and translations, "...while an insane wife, frequently wrought up to a state of most distressing excitement, was in the next room....".
This paragraph can be found word for word in this source on pgs 127-128:  Tucker, Ruth A. From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: a Biographical History of Christian Missions. 2nd ed. Zondervan, 2004.

message: At school, we studied William Carey, and watched a movie on him: William Carey: A Candle In The Dark.
Both the studying and the movie said that he was a cobbler.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.183.203.180 (talk) 20:06, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's in the second paragraph of the Early life section - "At the age of 14, Carey’s father apprenticed him to a cobbler in the nearby village of Piddington, Northamptonshire." StAnselm (talk) 20:10, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cobbler 

message: "...a local villager who had a college education" — what does this mean in the context of 18th century Britain? It looks like an Americanism. Did the villager in fact have a university education? If so, it should be stated as such, not given its American equivalent. Koro Neil (talk) 00:45, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
