Fife / Re: Collessie Parish Church M.I.

Hello Norrie,
Thanks for your info. This is not the Robert Clark I was after,but seems to suggest a second family (brothers perhaps) sharing a common forefather or source.
Other Clark burials in the cemetery are William Clark and his son William a week apart on the 10th and 17th of February 1740. Two lots of morte cloth dues were paid.
Jean Clark who died and presumed buried there in 1794 is recorded as the mother of two infants who died 2/6 and19/6 1769, though the register shows the second as evidence in a money-accounting page rather an actual death. Sadly she was the only one in a long column that did not pay for the morte cloth.
My fore-father Robert Clark was born in 1792 up the road in the Newburgh Parish, and his father Robert
(a Tailor) was a Collessie boy according to his 1789 Newburgh marriage certificate.
It doesn't fit the 1775 birth of Robert Clark d. 1847 who lies beneath the only Clark gravestone in the cemetery, as he would only have been 14 when he got married -unlikely and foolish! Thanks again Norrie
