Neale - I did have access to cert's but not any longer. The info about Williams parents
James Christopher Clark
Elizabeth Simpson
has come via rootschat and Ancestry.
Do I have a problem these may be incorrect?
OSIP, You are running multiple threads on your Clark family. On these threads you have provided confused, and conflicting information, and vague memories of family stories.
Many people have spent numerous hours trying to help, and you have been given many avenues to pursue.
What research have you done yourself, and how have you checked this information? What documentation have you acquired along the way?A Clark family has been traced through Scotland, Liverpool and to Australia. I personally spent many hours searching for, and transcribing merchant seaman records for you, following information that you posted.
It now seems this is probably NOT the right family.
The information you have obtained from Rootschat
is based on the information you have provided. If you have provided incorrect information, then that is a poor starting point.
I have no idea what errors you have copied from Ancestry trees!
You ask:-
“Do I have a problem these may be incorrect?”They are correct for a certain Clark family. BUT, is it YOUR Clark family? From the information you have now posted on this thread, probably not.
If you want accuracy in your family genealogy research, then you need the correct documents as a starting point. Isn’t this your responsibility? It is, after all, your family.
RootsChatter are very generous with their time, and are clever in trying to solve difficult trees. However they need you to provide some accuracy as a starting point.
Assuming you want accuracy; rather than wasted time, then the next step would be the birth certificate for your William Richard Clark.
