Message Board Post:
I am interested in making contact & exchanging information with the descendants of
Allan Carswell & Agnes Howie who farmed "Craig of Neilston" in the late
1700's & early 1800's. Their eldest son Allan Carswell married Jean Stevenson
of "Old Barn Farm" Neilston in 1813 & they farmed at "Lonefoot"
& "Thorterburn." Their eldest son Allan Carswell married Jean Gemmell of
"Commore" in 1839 & they farmed at "Thorterburn " before moving to
Cheshire England in 1845 to become estate agents.
The Carswells have been in this area for many centuries as the farms Craig of Neilston
,Karswell & Nether Carswell are shown on a hand drawn map of the Baronee of Renfrew
drawn in 1590.
A Carswell DNA Project has just begun with an aim of linking or establishing the origins
of each Carswell family.Please contact me if you are interested.
Regards,
John Carswell NSW Australia
