Hi,
I know I'm years late on this subject but I'm having problems trying to prove the
birth and marriage of Robert Carson born c.1812 in either Dumfries or Kirkcudbright.
It's confusing because on all the English Census' he appears on from 1841 his
place of birth is given as just Scotland or Dumfries. I've found a marriage for a
Robert Carson to Grace Shaw on 13/11/1836 at Troqueer, Kirkcudbright. However, Robert
Carson is down on the church marriage record as being from Liverpool? Grace is given as
being from Troqueer. I'm as certain as I can be that this is my Robert and Grace who
ended up living in Liverpool but it would be nice to nail Roberts birthplace. Was he born
in Scotland or Liverpool? If he was born in Liverpool why is his birthplace given as
Scotland on the English Census'?
Any help would be most appreciated,
Roy Montrose
