Carson/Creaton(Crichton) m July 4 1806-Glasgow
« on: Sunday 14 August 11 16:35 BST (UK) »
Robert Carson b. prox. 1781 in Ireland married Sarah Creaton (Crichton/Creighton) at St. Andrews on the Green in Glasgow on July 4, 1806. He was a muslin weaver. Lived in Calton.
I'm looking for additional children. I have James b. prox 1817-1820 in Shettleston and Robert Jr. b. prox. 1821.
Also, does anyone have clues how to trace Robert Sr. back to Northern Ireland?

Thank you for your reply! Yes, I have printed out the marriage registration from the OPR. Took me ages to find out the info. I found it by working back from James, my GG Grandfather.
Additional info.: Robert Sr. married Charlotte Ferguson on Oct. 25, 1835 in Camlachie. She was 24 years old! I believe, they had 3 children together. So, Sarah (obviously) died some time before that. I'm unable to locate a death registration for her, though. Robert Sr. was 60 in the 1841 (the first) census.
Thank you for your interest and for your time!

FA,  Carson is a Wigtownshire name, many of them settled in Ulster. St Andrews on the Green was the first Episcopalian church built in Glasgow, (now offices). So your Carson was probably Church of Ireland.     Skoosh.

Hello, Skoosh:
Thanks for the information re Episcopalian/Church of Ireland. I'll add this to my "clues" file and keep searching.

Thanks, again!

FA, how about the national archives,   http://www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/   a long shot but you never know!
 It could be that only Charlotte was a Piskie and Robert jumped the dyke. He has come over before the famine of the 1840s, cotton weaving was booming in Glasgow.
Newspapers online are another possibility.  Also the Poor Records at the Mitchell Library which might take in their family and refer back to them.     Skoosh.

It looks like Robert had died by the 1851 census so Poor Relief applications may be your best hope of early records

Hello, Sancti:
I've never heard about the Poor Relief applications. Can I find them on-line through ScotlandsPeople? Or, is there another source?
Wow! This is fascinating. Thank you so very much for the clue!

Hi, Skoosh:
Your ideas are great! I'll give them a try. I just asked Sancti how to get to the Poor Relief applications. I'm hoping I can get them on-line since I'm "across the pond." :-)
I have another question:  What the heck is a "Piskie"? LOL I understand about Robert jumping the dyke :-)
Take care.  Thank you for your suggestions.
