Hello. I am trying to trace the father of a Daniel Carswell from Bisley in Gloucester England, born in the early 1700's. Daniel married a Sarah Bolton,and Daniels father is said to have died "In the Kings service in America. I was told that the family originally left Glasgow Scotland in the time of the rebellions 1600 in the reign of Charles the first. Without Daniels fathers name we are stuck.
My grandmother was a Carswell born 1889. The family all lived in Brentwood Essex.
Thankyou Anne Beadle
