WOW!! So much info..... Thanks to you all for what you have found so far.

He did marry Barbara in 1962, only to die very soon aftrwards. Tragic.

I am glad to hear his real name and that he had married before. Is there any of proving this marriage, if there were any children from it or even his parents/siblings names etc.?

What do you think?

Barbara was a lot younger than Jack - at least I assume this is her death:

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Andrew (Jack) Carson
« on: Friday 18 April 08 17:50 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out some information about a first cousin of my fathers, she was Cissie Moseley her proper name might have been Catherine May Moseley.

She married Andrew M J Carson he was born in South Africa about 1890 and they supposedly married in Madras India in 1926 ?

Jack owned a Circus in India and reside at Palm Grove Rd Coimbatore

Andrew M J Carson death registered at Kensington London July 1962 aged 72

Died on 9th July 1962, aged 72, at his home 263 Old Brompton Road, London SW5. His funeral was at Golders Green Crematorium, on 13th July

Andrew Carson was known as Jack Carson and for the later years of his life was Chief Eagle Eye with Chipperfields Circus.

I am trying to find out more information about Jack at his address in London and also if there are any records for MI's for Golders Green Crematorium or any other records, maybe newspaper records?


Regards,
Ian.

Wonder if he was born in Scotland

There are two Andrew Carson on the 1901 census in Scotland

Do you have his marriage cert Marcus and if so does it give his father's name please.

Marcus, if he married Barbara Moulton in 1962 as he did according to freebmd, are you sure that he died that same year?

edit sorry yes i can see that there was a death that year same location for same name.

Am trying to find the birth of the above Andrew M J Carson. I have his death in 1962 stating he was 72 yrs old when he died - hence birth of c1890. But WHERE??

Married Barbara Olive Moulton in 1962.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Marcus
