Looking for a boy's name like "Harry" that sounds kind of happy go lucky. I can't use the name Harry because the characters last name is Carey. This is a historic novel set in the late 1800s. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

What about Kit or Kip as a nn for Christopher Carey? Or maybe Ned as a nn for Edward or Edmund Carey?

Billy & Bobby come to mind.
The 1880 chart for the US might be useful to look through for others: http://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/united-states/1880

Where about's is the novel set? I will assume GB for now. It would also be helpful to know the wealth/class/status of the person, their occupation, etc.

Tom sounds happy go lucky to me. Or...
Frank, Sam, Joe, Fred, Willie, Charlie, Leo, Wil, Jack, Ray
(I didn't check what names with Carey might be famous)
