Hi,
My grandfather was Joseph George Carstairs, he lived in Hurstville , Sydney. As far as I know, his brother George played football for the Saint George Dragons in the 1920's and went on to play for Australia.
Joseph was married to Elsie Marie Metcalfe.
His parents were George William and Annie Christie.

Just noticed - my John and Jessie call their first born Robert...

Re: Carstairs

fluffymikegoth — 2009-07-07 17:33:02Z

Don't know if this is connected, but I have a James Carstairs Darroch born 1868 in Greenock, Scotland, parents John Darroch and Jessie / Ester Barr both born abt 1837 in Greenock.

Perhaps a child of your Robert and Grace? I cannot find any explanation for the sudden appearance of the name Carstairs in this line...

Mary Ann Carstairs Stewart

kathleenpearson1 — 2004-02-07 19:13:50Z

We are looking for information from Manitoba on Mary Ann (Carstairs) Stewart. She was born in Kilconquhar, Fife, Scotland, on October 5, 1827 to Margaret Fleming and David Carstairs. On November 20, 1850, she married Rev. Henry Stewart in Kilconquhar, Fife, and they moved to Randalstown, County Antrim, Northern Ireland where he was minister of 2nd Randalstown Presbyterian church. Sometime after his death in 1878, Mary Ann emigrated to Canada. We understand that she married an Episcopalian minister, and lived in Manitoba.

Would anyone happen to know the name of the man she married? Or would anyone happen to know where we could find a list of Episcopalian ministers that ministered in Manitoba at about that time?

I am researching a Greig Carstairs, married to Elizabeth Lumsden in 1841. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any record of his birth on Scotorg, so I've sent for the marriage cert, but if anyone knows about the man Greig, or his family, I'd be very grateful. I am also researching one Lindsay Steven Carstairs, my Grandfather, about whom I know little, but who had a very interesting life. Any Info?

thanks Chris.

chriscarstairs — 2003-06-24 09:06:34Z

Thank you for the e-mail Fergus. I had actually applied for the marriage cert from scotorg, which arrived today, but-you guessed it-did not give the parents' names, so I'll send for the death cert. now.

I can't give you direct information, but know that some of my relatives 'Carstairs' lived in Victoria BC and that they had moved to California, certainly by 1966. If you e-mail me to make direct contact we might be able to see whether there is any connection to your quest.

Hello,
I am from Australia and now living in London. I want to find out all I can about my family history and this is where I am starting. Any information about The Carstairs Family would be appreciated. I think the family lived in Lockerbie - and an uncle or a grandfather was at one stage the Laird of lockerbie.

My part of the famuly came form Carstairs Village, which is just north of Stirling, Scotland. My grandfather, James Carstairs, was one of seven brothers who came to Philadelphia.

To the best of my knowledge the Carstairs name from this branch survives only as my middle name, our son's ans my sister's son.

I believe but am not sure that the Carstairs are a sept of the Clan Bruce.

Thanks,

Jim Collins

I'm researching the surname Carstairs and all its variants. I have a very large database (15000+ events) on the surname, and am in contact with a number of other Carstairs researchers around the world.
If you have any Carstairs related information or queries, let me know, and I'll do my best to answer them if I can.

Please note that I am travelling around the world until November 2000, so responses may be delayed. I do however have my database with me on my laptop, so should be able to answer queries.

Thanks
