Carson / Nesbitt in Monaghan
« on: Monday 05 August 13 16:17 BST (UK) »
Hi folks,

currently researching my ancestors on my mother's side and hit a bit of a brick wall!

I'll give as much info as I can but basically I can't get any further back than my g.g.grandparents.

Their names are James Carson and Anne Jane Nesbitt, married in Ahabog on 28th March 1860.  James was apparently a farmer.  I have no details other than James father was also James, and Anne's father was William Nesbitt.

Shortly afterwards they moved to Scotstown and had three children I know about:

William, born in Scotstown 24th September 1864
Sarah, born in Scotstown 22nd July 1868
James, born in Scotstown 5th January 1870

William was my g. grandfather, married Helen Hart and at some point shortly after 1903 he moved to Kilbirnie in Ayrshire (possibly via Motherwell or Lanarkshire somewhere!).  I know this because my Grandfather Robert Carson was born in Ireland in 1903 but moved to Scotland at a very young age.

If anyone is researching the same family or has any pointers I would be glad to hear it!

Thanks

Paul

My Nesbitts were in the area before 1860.  A Margaret Nesbitt married James Harrison [Sr.] in 1859 in Mucknoe [Parish], County Monaghan, Ireland. 

I recognize this surname from my Scottish family.  Harrisons were Presbyterian.

James then continued to live in Aughnagurgan, Keady Parish, Armagh.  Griffith's Valuation (about 1861-1864) has
James Harrison, Aughnagurgan, Keady Parish, Armagh

For Grifffith's, there is no Nesbitt in Aughnagurgan, but nine Nesbitts in Keady Parish.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.
