Dear All ,

I am still trying to find out who my ggg grandfather is... My ancestry tree on my side of the family has hit a brick wall. Charles married Isabella Machray 1802-1878 they had 5 daughters & 4 sons.

They married at Glenmuick 30th May 1824. I have found Isabella's parents but not Charles's parents and so my family line ends at 1805. I have found the family headstone on findagrave which is in Nellfield Cemetary , Aberdeen.

I have looked through and tried many Charles Clark's from Glenbucket , Lonmay , Kildrummy etc. Also a tentative link to a Alexander Clark of Fettercairn born 1772. I'm not sure at all about this link?

Any help to crack the great "Clark Mystery" greatly appreciated or perhaps through lack of family information I have got as far back as possible. I have all census's for the family other than 1841 , looked everywhere...

Hi Monica ,

I am so grateful to you for all the work you have done! Charles was a horse hirer / worker at gas works / coach guard and groom all I presume in Aberdeen? If you look at my tree click on charles's page and then gallery. I found his headstone in Nellfield cemetery but can't understand it. I know of Anna Boening but middle name of Morrison suggests she married but died single at 22? Charles and Isabella are NOT her parents! Carl Boening and Helen Annand were! I understand Helen Clark who is the sister of my ggg grandfather Peter Machray Clark. I don't know who David R.L Clark is or his wife Mary Dunbar? All very confusing! If Colin and you can help me that would be wonderful  ps I will show my family your kind links in previous message tomorrow! 

Dear All ,

I have been searching for more information about my ggg grandfather Charles Clark 1805 - 1849. Charles married Isabella Machray 1802 - 1878 and they had 3 boys and 3 girls. I just can't find anything on Charles's parents. I do hope somebody can help me!
