Title: Mary Clark born 1864, Carluke
Post by: ruth60 on Friday 18 May 12 19:10 BST (UK)

Can anyone help please.  I am trying to find a marriage or death record for Mary Clark, born 1864 in Carluke.  daughter of Hugh Clark and Julia Higgins.  I have traced her to the 1881 census age 17, but have been unable to find her after that.  I have tried unsuccessfully to find a marriage in between 1881 and 1891 census, also unable to find a death.

I'd be grateful for any help.

Hi Ruth
on Scotlandspeople site, assuming Mary lived her life in Carluke there is one marriage btx, 1881 and 1950 for her, in 1883, and also, btx 1881 and 1960 one death in 1944 ,correct age, born 1864. This may all be guess work , however if any kind Rootschatters have any spare credits they might check it out for you
Happy Hunting

Thank you very much for helping me with this and pointing me in the right direction.
The death record is the correct Mary Clark, from this I have found out that she was married twice and have been able to find the marriage lines for her second marriage to John Martin in 1914 in Kilmarnock, but havent been able to find the record of her first marriage to a John Burns but I'll keep searching. 
I havent been researching the family tree for very long but it is very addictive trying to piece together each family.  There have been a few surprises with this one!
