My grandmother was born in Newry Co Down in 1881 and her parents were married in NewtownHamilton in 1856.
There may be a connection with Monaghan which although likely isn't proven.
One of her brothers settled in Edinborough, married and had 2 chn.
Has anyone else a connection with this family? Jill

I may be able to help you
We are originally from Newtownhamilton. My Great grandfather married a girl called Letitia Carson, the daughter of Robert Carson. Robert was a farmer and his wife was Anne Hanna.
Letitia was born in Lisdrummard on 5th July 1849
She married my GGF in the Presbyterian church in Sandys Street, Newry in 1876.

Sorry for the delay in replying David. I'm at a loss as how to proceed now as I've checked a much as I can check.
I hope there is a connection.

Re my previous message about Carsons in Newtownhamilton.
a) I have found a Carson family grave plot in Newtownhamilton
b) My Carson family lived in the parish of Lisnadill 3 miles south of Armagh. I have only just found the Griffiths valuation entry for them. John was dead by 1860 but there were an Esther and Anne Elizabeth (my great great grandmother) still alive at that time.
c) Have you tried the website www.failteromhat.com ? They have the Griffiths lists and a large list of Armagh Carsons in the flax growers list for 1796.

Thank you 'Preston',
I apologise for this great pause in communication but I have been abroad for a while and my genealogy details were in England.
I have seen the flax growers list for Armagh 1796 but until I get some connection back from John or James (both carpenters) to another name, I'm stuck.
I must visit the area and look at the Newry 1901 census page by page and try to find the deaths of Richard and Elizabeth.

Thanks. Let me know when you have a family tree as I am sure we fit into it somewhere

Hi everyone,
I know it's a bit late, but I've only just found this thread, so I hope you'll bear with me. I'm trying to connect my Carson ancestors from Armagh. My 3 x Gt Grandfather was Thomas Carson and according to the info I have from censuses he was born in Armagh and was a Joiner. He had a daughter Maria who married a James Sinnott from Dublin.
Do you think there is any connection with your Carson family? Any help most gratefully accepted. Thanks.

My Great Grandfather was William John Carson, born 07 Apr 1869, father Richard Carson and mother Eliza Carson. William John was married to Catherine Carson (Kate) who died in Newtown Hamilton some time between 1903 and 1914. They had 3 children, James, Elisabeth and Helen. If you find her grave stone it would be a big help or anything else related to the Carson family. Thanks Jill ; )

I am very sorry but we are no longer able to contact Jill (stuck) sadly she has changed her email address and despite googling her details I have not been able to find her.

I wonder if this is the same person who put a message on (don't know if I'm allowed to use the website name so I wont) back in 2005 re Richard and James Carson. I've just left a message for her today, the website say she is still active, so if I have any luck I'll let you know.

This lady was last online on RootsChat in November 2010, there was nothing I could find after this date with the information she had given.

Well, we don't know that its the same person do we, but either way its very sad. Probably just forgotten all about updating their Rootschat details. Cest la vie!!
-
Does anyone have any information of the deaths/births of Richard and Eliza Carson? Still can't find anything!

Donnaboo,
I too am researching this Carson family. As I said earlier, I've tried to contact Jill through another site and if she gets in touch I'll report back on here. Regards

Donnaboo,
Was Richard born in 1839?
-
I am not sure when Richard or Eliza were born/died.

Ok, thanks.
