Thank you Sancti and Skoosh: You're wonderful!
"Piskie" ... Of course!  Shoulda known that one! You two have certainly broadened my research avenues.
Thank you again!

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.

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!

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

Thanks, again!

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!

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?

Hello, Lawrehoo:
Your Robert Carson (married to Mary Mason) was the brother of my GG Grandfather, James. Their father was Robert Carson b. prox. 1781 in Ireland. He was a muslin weaver. He was 60 in the 1841 census of Shettleston, Barony Parish. Robert Jr. was present at the time of the census (Jun 7, 1841). In this census, Robert Sr. was living with his young, second wife, Charlotte (nee Ferguson).
The first wife of Robert Sr. and mother of Robert Jr. and James, was Sarah Creaton/Crichton/Creighton. They married in Calton, Barony Parish on July 4, 1806 in St. Andrews on the Green in Glasgow. Sadly, I am unable to find additional information about Sarah. I have not located other children that Robert and Sarah may have had.
My GG Grandfather, James was born prox. 1817-1820 in Shettleston. He was a calico (block) printer. He moved to Kilmarnock and became a grocer with his second wife, Elizabeth Caldwell. The first wife of James was Mary Brown. She may have died soon after the birth of their daughter, Mary.
If you need additional information, let me know.
I have often wondered (and have tried to research) where Robert Sr. was born in Ireland, I'm fairly convinced he was from Northern Ireland since quite a number of Irish weavers moved to and lived in Calton in the late 1700's and early 1800's. The quest is probably futile, though, since there are far more Carsons than I ever expected in Ireland and Scotland!
Regards,
Shirley C.
