If William and Janet had died in Girthon they would have probably have been buried in Girthon Old Kirkyard.  I have the transcriptions of the grave stones there but altough there are some Carsons and Henrys I can't find yours. Of course not everyone could afford a grave stone.

Happy hunting  Callywoods

I have found them!  They were buried in Anwoth Old Kirkyard. Anwoth is next parish to Girthon.

The transcription reads

by trustees of the late Mary Carson died 23.12.1869 aged 66 in memory of her father William Carson died 1829 aged 60 and mother Janet Henry died 1836 aged 66.

I have emailed you photos of Carsons graves but thought you would be interested in the transcripts of inscriptions on 2 adjacent stones.

1)  by Alex Carson in memory of Mary Heuchan (his mother and wife of John Carson} who died in Glen 21.3.1783 aged 53. Also John Carson died Gategill 15.2.1803

2) by Alex Carson of High Auchenlarie died 23.5.1850 aged 82 in memory of wife Helen McLelland d. Auchenlarie 3.6.1810 aged 44.

Perhaps John was William's father and Alex John's brother?
