Main
sources:
(1) "Living in St. Andrews" by Catherine Forrest (published by St.
Andrews University Library in 1996, ISBN 0 900897 14 7) provided much of the
above. The book's secondary title is "A history of the Carstairs family
from the 15th to the end of the 19th century". The book is a MUST HAVE
for anyone who is researching either the Carstairs of Fife families or the history
of St. Andrews, Fife.
(2) BG family records. In some cases the family records disagree with what is
given in "Living in St. Andrews", in particular:
(i) on the ancestry
of John Carstairs of Newgrange who died in 1649. As that book specifically refers
to and denies part of what the old handwritten (and unreferenced) family records
suggest, we defer to that book.
(ii) on certain
details of the marriages and children of Sir John Carstairs, 1st of Kilconquhar.
Here we also defer to the book.
