Clifford family

[Gadget]

I thought that, George - they married 1858 and Ann Jane showing as b. Ireland on the 1861.


gnu

Added - no marriage between a John Clifford and a Barbara in Scotland 1855-1920

Wonder if there is some confusion somewhere,could that John,boarder on the 1901 be anything to do with it.

Just checked  Hugh Clifford b. Lanarkshire 1855 - 2009 and nothing in Barony.

Can't find anything for Barony either gnu,only thing I would bet on at this moment is the trail will eventually lead to Ireland.

Just looked at the 1911 family that Anne mentions and they are definitely the same family as the one that we've found. I'm not sure where Barbara  comes from  

gnu

Added - both William and Ann Jane and Isabella were b. Ireland. William and Ann Jane married according to the forms of the RC Church

Thought it might gnu,my Clifford line were Irish Roman Catholics,no relation to Anne's that I can see though.Do you think the Barbara that is on the passenger lists from New York to Glasgow in 1909 and 1913 could be something to do with it.


Things can get mixed up.I remember as a child at a new school in England telling everyone during a geography lesson that I had an aunt in California,thinking it was the sunny American one,it was actually the small mining village in Scotland

The only John and Barbara Clifford (as a married couple) that I can find (used Family search) are on the 1900 US Census in Shamokin, Pennsylvania.

John was b. 1843 Poland/Aust and Barbara was b. 1848 in Pennsylvania.

I don't think that they are anything to do with Hugh

Found what might be the answer on at least two Ancestry trees (unsourced):

Hugh Clifford b. Lanarkshire  d. Heidelberg, Victoria 1956
Parents - John Clifford and Barbara English
Spouse - Annie May Turner

Make of this what you will

Added - The Hugh Clifford who died in Victoria in 1956 was born circa 1898. parents are given as ??

The only Hugh Clifford b.c. this time in Scotland was the son of Hugh and Isabella!

Think we have the correct family and that Barbara might have been a red herring
