Title: Alexander Clark and Mary Duncan! Can any one help?
Post by: marywilliams on Saturday 08 April 06 00:48 BST (UK)
I am stuck. I have Alexander Clark who married a Mary Duncan. I think they may have been from Kincardine O'Neil as their daughter Jane married a William Reid there in 1858.I cant find their marriage anywhere or any other children they may have had. Is there anyone who can help me?? I've been trying for ages.

Regards Mary

Good morning Mary

Found three children so far for William Reid/Jane Clark, all born @ Kincardine O'Neill (IGI) :

14/02/1858 - Isabella
09/01/1860 - Jane
29/08/1867 - James

Also couple were enumerated in 1861 census @ Craigley, Kincardine O'Neill with their two daughters :
He was aged 29 years, a ploughman, born Leochel and she was aged 31 years and born @ Kincardine O'Neill.

There were a couple of other Clark marriages about the same time @ Kincardine O'Neill....Helen Clark married Peter Lawson (1856) + Maria Clark married James Stewart (1862) but neither had Alexander Clark/Mary Duncan as parents.

Here's something that might help......

In 1881 census @ Culliebrae, Kincardine O'Neill were :

Reid - Gordon - grandson - aged 1 year - born Kincardine O'Neill
Reid - James - son - aged 13 years - born ditto

Reid - Jane - wife - aged 51 years - born ditto

Reid - William - head - aged 47 years - born Leochel

Thomson - Mary - mother in law - aged 71 years - born Kincardine O'Neill

No wonder I couldn't find a death for Mary Clark nee Duncan !!!!!
