Message Board Post:
Seeking information on Thomas and Eliza (nee Donnelly)Carson of London, Ontario, Canada.
Children: Thomas, James, Mary(ann?), Eliza, John (my grandfather)and Ellen (died as an
infant). Born: Ireland, appr. 1841. Emigrated to Canada approx. 1874, perhaps from
Scotland as two oldest children were born in Scotland. Can find birth records for children
but no record of emmigration to Canada. My grandfather always said that Carson was not
"real" last name but due to Thomas' thick brogue, Canadian officials had
trouble understanding him and wrote it down as Carson. Could be Courson, Cassell, etc. Any
help, "search tips", etc. very much appreciated.
