These are the 2 Robert Carson aged 60, one Glasgow - Steel Street in St Andrews Parish back then,
the other is Barony in this case Shettleston.
Interestingly they didnt split out households in  Shettleston in 1841, just a long list.
CARSON ROBERT 1841 M 60 644/1 109/ 25 Glasgow Lanark
CARSON ROBERT 1841 M 60 622/ 196/ 11 Barony Lanark

I do think that the Shettleston one is the right person, the rest of the familiy are on the next page. When I say the census is suspect I just mean his origin and occupation cannot be verified. If have plenty cases where an 1851 Census and 1841 dont match up.

The point here is the only doc that I have with an age and possible birth location for Robert Carson are the 1841 Census. I am trying to find something/anything else. Given he died before 1851, findig  anything else has been a dead end. The other issue of course is given the timeline between 1841-1850, both the Epsicopal Church split due to the Oxford movement and the Church of Scotland split. So not surprisingly records are hard to come by.

Would these records be of any use? They might have details about Robert when appointed Church Beadle.

Thanks, I have had a couple of visits to the Mitchell Library to see these.
Probably need to go and look again
