Leanora, you're quickly building up the info on the family 
Perhaps this entry for Elizabeth's birth, from IGI:

ELIZABETH CARSON  Birth: 25 SEP 1858  Old Monkland, Lanark
Parents: JOHN CARSON and ELIZABETH O'HEAR

The marriage cert that Falkryn has found on SP would let you confirm details for both Elizabeth and James' parents.
Monica
