The marriage certificate I have is for Harry and Margaret and Walter is just named as her father with no information about him being a Widow.

Thankyou everyone for your help and contributions. I will add information now and hopefully I might get a bit further back with the family now.

London and Middlesex / Clark family
« on: Tuesday 11 November 25 17:42 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to track down the family of Margaret Mary Clark born 18 Feb 1892 in West Kensington.
She married Harry Findler in Wolstanton, Staffs on 2nd June 1918. She was a servant in Paddington in 1911 and Harry was in the Grenadier Guards.
Her birth date is on the 1939 register in Sedgley Staffs where she was living with her husband and children.
I have obtained her marriage certificate and her father is named as Walter James Clark. I think I have Walter and his wife Lizzie on the 1901 census in Fulham. I think Walter was employed in a hotel, possibly as a waiter  - hard to read on the marriage certificate.
That's as far as I can get... I'd like to get confirmation of Margaret's mother but can't find her. Tried Elizabeth and Lizzie on Marriage searches but no luck.
I'd be really grateful for any help. Thank you in anticipation.

National Register of Archives for Scotland in item NRAS2607 mentions 'household accounts'

p.s. When Fasque was sold there were auctions to sell the remaining contents held by Taylors of Montrose, this was several (possibly more than ten) years ago.
2008 at least according to this BBC news item about the library
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/7525655.stm

Thanks so much for this information. I have looked at the site and it's a closed record so I am going to try contacting them.

Aberdeenshire / Fasque House servants
« on: Saturday 26 August 23 16:04 BST (UK)  »
Hello I am trying to find out if a family story is true. There is a story that one of my husbands ancestors was a servant at Fasque House/ Balbegno Castle during the time that Gladstone was prime minister. She told family members that she was working there when he visited his brother. Her name was Isabella Smith - born 8 March 1862 in Fettercairn, Kincardineshire, about 2 miles from Fasque. WE know that she was definitely a domestic servant- according to the Census in 1881. She was at home on the census but lived less than 2 miles away.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas where the archives etc could be for the estate. I have tried contacting them and also Glen Dye estate but no one there has any archives. I wondered if any museums or local history groups would have any ideas?

Thanks for the reply. She was listed on the census for 1881 as a Domestic servant and was living in Fettercairn which is very close to Fasque.

Kincardineshire / Isabella Smith Domestic Servant- Fasque
« on: Monday 20 March 23 17:46 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out if there are any records of Domestic servants employed at Fasque during the time that PM William Ewart Gladstone visited his brother Thomas who had inherited the estate from his father. Approx- 1880-1889
I would really like to know if the stories passed down the family about her working there when he visited are true.
