Hi kimchris

The central library in Stirling has a family history specialist on the staff who might be able to help. You can contact her through Stirling Council website. Click on libraries then family history.


Cheers

hi don't know if you are still looking ..but allen macdonald clark born 1901  was my mothers uncle  . could this be one of your relatives?
he was one of 5 children born to william clark and elizabeth tevan
they were
jane stewart clark.. born 1889
elizabeth clark.. born 1893 died 2/1/1946 ( my grt grandmother)
thomas clark ..born 1897
james clark .. born 1899 ?
allen macdonald clark ..born 1901.
found lots of info on elizabeth tevan (family origanally from co fermannagh)
but have struggled with william clark ..born 1863..died 1909
all I know about him is his parents were
thomas clark ..born 1850?
mary ann bradley ..born 1850?
my mother came from stirling ...hope ths is of help to you ...mal
