Biography

Alexander Carse was born about 1780. [a]

Alexander and wife Isobel Cowan baptised at least four children in Campsie, Stirling:[1] [b] [c]

  1. Isabell Carse, bp. 1 Apr 1804, Campsie, Stirling
  2. Agness Carse, bp. 21 Feb 1813, Campsie, Stirling
  3. Anne Carse, bp. 28 Nov 1813, Campsie, Stirling
  4. Helen Carse, bp. 22 Oct 1815, Campsie, Stirling

Research Notes

[a] Is the birthdate of 1780 an estimate? There is a possible baptism in Campsie in 1780 (This is the right location; only other records in Scotland are for 1770 and 1790):

CARSE, ALEXANDER; Parents: ALEXANDER CARSE/MARGARET PETTECROE
11/11/1780; 475/20 147; Campsie[2]

[b] Unable to locate a marriage record.

[c] Unable to locate a baptism record for daughter Jane, but her parents were listed on her death record,[3] and she listed her birthplace as Campsie on numerous census records.

Check for possible name variations in earlier records: Carus, Carass, Carse, Caress, Cariss, Carass, Caris, Carriss, Cars and Carss have the same origin as Ker, Kerr and Keir (of Norse-Viking origins, "kjarr").[4]
