Dear Cousin,
. When Will. Handford ( John Stevenson’s son - outside the Blanket) was in New Zealand Invercargill ,he saw lots of Carswell names over shops and he went into the last one but only his son was in but he said he understood they came from the neighbourhood of Glasgow.
It seems that it was John Stevensons son who was born to Sarah Handford at Bradley Brow Farm 24 Oct 1854 named William Stevenson on Birth Cert. but latter called William Handford. Sarah later married Thomas Shadwell & ran the Old Rodney Inn at Prestbury.
