Hi Sue, I found a death record for a Martin V. Carson 1905-06 and an Annie Carson 1906-07. However, the Annie Carson was only 5 years old so, obviously, not the person you are looking for. The information for Martin V. Carson was as follows: FHL film # 0285207, Franklin Co., Ohio Death records Vol. 9 1904-1908 p. 98 Carson, Martin V.; Male, Death date 1905 Nov 13, Condition (Single, Married, Widowed) was left blank, Age 67y __m __d, Died in Infirmary, Born in Virginia, Occupation was blank, Father's name blank, Mother's maiden name blank, Cause of death Dropsy, Residence Infirmary. These indexes are not like you would find in a published book with all of the people with the surname Carson grouped together. They were done by the court clerks as they occured and are hand written. All of the surnames beginning with the letter "C" and having "a" as the first vowell are grouped together. I started my search at 1880. The following is a list of the Carsons I found: 1880 Carson, Harry N. Vol. 1, p. 154 1882 Carson, Josephine 2, 8 1882 Carson, Lulu B. 2, 16 1882 Carson, ?A.? A. 2, 23 1884 Carson, George A. 2, 94 1890 Carson, W.W. 3, 80 1890 Carson, Andrew 3, 11_ (after 110) 1894 Carson, Margaret 3, 222 1895 Carson, Erskine 3, 260 1898 Carson, Rebecca C. 4, 90 ? Carson, Wm. 4, 242 1905-6 Carson, Joseph 9, 98 (he was b. in PA) 1905-6 Carson, Martin V. 9, 98 1906-7 Carson, Annie 9, 164 Hope I have been at least some help to you. If you are interested in or curious about any of the other Carsons, let me know. I wonder if the ?A.? A. Carson who died in 1882 could be your Annie? I can try looking up the actual record next week.
