hi pal,

agnes fordice cark was the daughter of william clark and marjory fraser.

william clark and marjory fraser were married 3/1/1784 in inverness

clark children of marriage: (all extracted christening dates)

katherine...8/5/1784
jean...7/10/1785

william...13/7/1795
george...5/9/1797
donald...4/12/1799
agnes fordice...29/3/1802

all born inverness

there is 2 other children showing up for this couple, but it is before they married? alexander 1780 and william 1782.

my clue was in the 1841 census.

1841 census- tomnahurich street, inverness

alexander...age 44...stoker at gas works
agnes clark...age 37
mary...age 15
george...age 6
marjory...age 4
majory clark...age 81
john clark...age 10(son of george)

all born inverness

i am hoping some kind soul will follow up on the census details for this family.

i cannot find a birth on the igi's for george, son of alexander and agnes clark!!

mcdonald children from marriage:

mary...christened...5/4/1826
william...christened...28/7/1828
evan...born...8/6/1832

Thank's Joe I'd managed to find most of that information since posting that query except birth of Katherine 1784 but help still very much appreciated.How did you find out that John Clark was son of George & do you know who Johns mother was?I haven't been able to find out anything on Agnes's siblings or her children except that Evan died in 1833 & Margaret born 1841 who is my Great Grandmother.Any information on Agnes's (1802) or Margaret's (1841) siblings would be appreciated.   regards,   Walter
