Gadget,

Thanks for your suggestion regarding the Dumfries Family History Society.  I was a member for many years.  I think I am going to concentrate on linking the two Clark families in the 1841 Locharbriggs census.  I will also follow up on Thomas.  You were kind to offer to do this but I don't expect you to do this and I have the time.  Thank you for your offer and thanks for all your help.  Martha Parker

Hi Martha

You can remove the image yourself and then type in the information or the request the local moderator, Boongie Pam, to remove it for you.

It's not my site and you have nothing to be sorry for as it's an easy mistake to make, it's just copyright infringement can be a big issue.

Thanks Wul,
Here are the Clarks who were in Locharbriggs 1800-1841.

Gilbert Clark (1769-1827)   md  Grace Wilson (1775-1832) He was a mason
1. John Clark (1800-1808)
2. Joseph Clark (1805-1835)
3. Isabella Clark (1816-1836) 
4. William Clark (1820-1858)  Have his death  record
There was also a daughter who married John Dunwoodie.

1841 Census of Scotland Locharbriggs  Parish:  ED: 4A; Page:  6; Line: 1305
Clark, James (45)  mason (1796 -8 May 1869)  Have his death record.
                           He is the son of Gilbert Clark (above)
Clark, Mary  (46)  This is Mary Bell
Clark, Helen (15) 1825-1842  Died at ae 17 Kirkmahoe Memorial
Clark, John   (12)  1829-1886 He is in the Dunfries death index in 1886.
 All were born in Dumfrieshire, Scotland

Now I have to figure out if the family below is related to the family above:
1841 Census of Scotland  Locharbriggs  7 June, 1841 
Clark, Thomas  (18)   mason apprentice      
Clark, Jean       (25)                                 
Clark, Janet      (7)                                  
Clark, Isabella   (5)                                   
All born in Dumfrieshire, Scotland

Hi Martha

The thing that I see that I didn't see before is this:

3. Isabella Clark (1816-1836) 

and:

I've found an interesting possiblility for Isabella:

Dumfries parish records
4th June 1836 Isabella , natural daughter of Isabella Clark (deceased) John Clark, her brother, Sponsor

What was Isabella's full death date from the MI?

Hello Gadget,

Here is part of the information from the Kirkmahoe MI:

#573 is about James Clark and his wife Mary Bell
#574 At the foot of #573. IHO John Clark son to Gilbirt (sic) Clark in Locherbridge wd 15/6/1808 aged 8.  Also above Gilbirt Clark wd 18/12/1827 aged 58.  Also Grace Wilson his spouse wd 10/9/1832 aged 57.  Joseph their son wd 1835 aged 30.  Isabella their dr wd 1836 aged 20.  William their son wd at Locherbridge Dec 1858 aged 38.

Of course they are not talking about the Isabella that was listed with Thomas, Jean and Janet Clark  That Isabella was born ca1836.  I wish I could connect the two families.

I have the death record of the above William Clark who died 1858.  His b-i-l signed the certificate.  It looked like Dunwoodie and I think I have found this family in the 1851-1871 census.  If it is the correct family the wife would have been Jane Clark but I don't know if I have the right family.  The Jane listed on the census was born in Locharbriggs as were her children but I don't know if her surname was Clark.

I also have the death record of James Clark who was married to Mary Bell.  It does state that his father was Gilbert Clark.

Do you know where I can get the rest of the MIs for Kirkmahoe Parish?  I want to see if the Dunwoodie/Dinwiddie family is listed there. 

If you want to take a look at #573 of the MI just let me know.  I didn't include it because I wasn't sure if anyone was interested.

Again, thank you.

One other item I just uncovered Gadget.  Jane Clark was the wife of John Dinwiddie.  I found their son William's baptism and it listed Jane maiden name.  Martha Parker

Hello Gadget,

#573 is about James Clark and his wife Mary Bell
#574 At the foot of #573. IHO John Clark son to Gilbirt (sic) Clark in Locherbridge wd 15/6/1808 aged 8.  Also above Gilbirt Clark wd 18/12/1827 aged 58.  Also Grace Wilson his spouse wd 10/9/1832 aged 57.  Joseph their son wd 1835 aged 30.  Isabella their dr wd 1836 aged 20.  William their son wd at Locherbridge Dec 1858 aged 38.

Of course they are not talking about the Isabella that was listed with Thomas, Jean and Janet Clark  That Isabella was born ca1836.  I wish I could connect the two families.

I maybe didn't make myself clear in my last posting.  No,  they weren't talking about Isabella, possible sister to Janet. I was suggesting that this might well be Isabella mother of Isabella:

4th June 1836 Isabella , natural daughter of Isabella Clark (deceased) John Clark, her brother, Sponsor

If so, this would connect your Janet, via Isabella, then via her mother Isabella,  to Gilbert Clark.

What we need to find out is if Gilbert had another son named John (the sponsor) who survived beyond June 1836
