Hi David, 

Thanks for the reply. I started to type my message, then the computer crashed!  I am trying to find out about a Free Church minister who was born in Ruthill, Perthshire. His name was George Clark. He died in Closeburn, Dumfriessshire in 1922 aged 77, so he must have been born in 1845 or thereabouts. He was a Free Church minister in Orkney, then transferred to Shetland in 1875. He was unmarried, and was cared for in hiis last years by his sister Helen Clark. According to his death certificate his father was called James Clark, and his mother's name was Jessie McRitchie. The father's occupation is given as "wood forester". I just wondered if there might be any census or other records relating to this family in Perthshire. I'm afraid I don't even know where Ruthill is! I have tried to look up Google maps but haven't found anything so far. Apologies for my ignorance!  Any help at all would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

PS are you sure it's Ruthill and not Ruchill which from memory is not that far from Comrie.

HI David and Ev,

Just found your replies. Thanks very much indeed to you both for your very prompt responses.  Another piece of Rev George Clark's jigsaw found!  I don't know if I will be able to find anything about his schooling and university or religious training.  He was a remarkable man, much loved by his congregations. Thank you.   Gordon

Hello Bruce,

Would there be any chance of you also sending me what you have about the mcewans from muthill?  My father who is 89 remembers going from inverness to muthill aged about 4 when his grandfather was moving to inverness after his wife died. 

I suspect that what you have on the mcewans of muthill may well fit in with the much more 'recent' things we know of our family tree

Thanks,

Ian
