Looking for 3 Great grand Uncles
William Clark born 1859 High Church, Glasgow
Alexander Clark born 1870 High Church, Glasgow
Robert Clark born 1879 Camlachie, Glasgow
Parents were : Robert Clark 1834-1889 Mary McCormick 1834-1884
Siblings: Elizabeth Auld Clark 1860-1927
Jane Clark 1862 - ?
John Clark 1865-1937
Robert Clark 1867-1869
Mary Ann Anderson Clark 1873-1958
The 3 brother disappear after 1881 and unable to find marriages or deaths.
Alexander possibly was a solder in 1890’s??
Any help would be very much appreciated! Many thanks in advance

It might be worth looking for all in any military records. I think during the time you cannot locate these men we were fighting the Boar War.
Some of these soldiers did stay behind in South Africa to live. (I have one in my family that did just that).

There is a William Clark born 1860 Glasgow on the English 1911 - have you already ruled him out?

No CaroleW I haven’t seen that, I will have a look into this Thank you

If Robert was born 1879 he should be on the 1891 as he was only 12yrs old. Was he with relatives as both parents deceased? If he's not - have you looked for a death for him?
-
The 1891 has an entry for Robert & he's living with brothers Alexander & John & sister Margaret?
Your post says you can't find them after 1881?

Scottish 1901 has an Alexander Clark aged 31 b Glasgow living in Stirling as a boarder

This is has been my thinking….i do have a military record for an Alexander but can’t prove it’s him as the records are quite vague with facts, it feels right, he leaves the military 1905 after 12 years served in East Indies and then nothing :'(
Thanks cd it’s so frustrating and costly!!

Just be glad it's only £1.50 lost.
Imagine how much more costly it would be if you had to pay for certificates from England, or Australia, to name but two :)

Some of the transcripts are on ancestry
Have you checked that the boys weren't living with McCormick relatives in 1891
I notice the family had Michael McCormick a labourer age 66 living with them in 1871
Was he Mary's father ? (2nd son named after him ) .

Hi Kim
Son William born 1859, looks to have married Elizabeth McKinnon in 1882 in Old Kilpatrick, Dunbarton (ref 501 / 53).
I think this is them in 1891:
William Clark 32 Rivetter b. Glasgow
Elizabeth Clark 32 b. Glasgow
Ellen Clark 7 b. Old Kilpatrick, Yoker
Robert Clark 7 b. Old Kilpatrick
Alexander Clark 3 b. Glasgow
William Clark 5 months b. Glasgow
Address 9 Lyon Street , Glasgow/Milton
By 1911, the family look to be in Ireland. Address showing as 118 East Bread Street (Pottinger (part of), Down. See www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002198812/
From the family's entry in 1911 and going by the birth places and ages for the younger children, the Clarks look to have been in Ireland pre 1901.

The family are not easy to find so far in 1901!
This looks to be the youngest's birth, Isabella, in 1902 on the Irish registers. If you haven't viewed images on there before, just add your name, tick the box for agree and the captcha box https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1902/01925/1745797.pdf
Also, daughter Ruth's entry in 1896 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1896/02153/1816775.pdf
