Jane-
I wish you the best of luck in your search for an American Carson. This is
only a courtesy note since I can not help at all. My file of Carson
ancestors go back to a George Carson who died in Pike County Mississippi USA
in about 1840. Apparently they left Ireland before your ancestors did.
Best of luck.

I'm researching Carson, Egan.
My ancestor James Robert Carson was born in Phoenix, Arizona abt 1873-5.
His parents were James Robert Carson and Mary Elizabeth Egan and they came
from Ireland.
He was in Australia in 1912 and worked as an assistant surveyor on the
rail
lines in Powelltown, Victora.
James married Margaret Johnson in 1912 and they moved to South Australia
and
had twin girls.
I have written to this list a couple of times with a request to see if
anyone in Phoenix could help me as I am not sure where to look now for any
information on the parents. I think they would have died in Phoenix.
Thanks,
Jane
