Hi Printer,

Peter Clark and Jessie Alexander were married 9 August 1842 in Stornoway. I believe they also had a daughter Jessie born 1845.

Peter was born in Comrie, Perthshire. I suspect he was related to my gggrandfather, Thomas Clark, and his siblings, James and Janet Clark, all of whom left Comrie and turned up in Stornoway. However, I have not located birth or death records listing Peter's parents.

Nor have I found any record of Peter and his family in Stornoway after the 1871 census. Did they go to New Zealand?

Hello clarkseeker,

The only information I know about Peter & Jessie is what I have posted. However, their son, Peter Alexander Clark is my gt grandfather. In 1876 he arrived in Dunedin, New Zealand. He married Margaret Allan Cunningham McRae (b 1857 Hutchesontown, Glasgow) on 30 March 1878 in Dunedin, NZ and they had 8 children.

I am interested to know more about Thomas and siblings. I would also like to know what you have found regarding Peter and family in 1871 Census.

Look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello, Cousin!

I just searched a little more diligently and found Peter Clark’s death record in Hutchesontown, Glasgow. He died there 16 November 1873 as a result of “congestion of the brain.” He was 64.

Peter’s parents were John Clark, a handloom weaver in Comrie, Perthshire, and Janet/Jessie Mackay. They had at least the following 4 children:

Peter Clark (b. abt. 1809)
Thomas Clark (b. 1816)
James Clark (b. 1818)
Janet Clark (b. abt. 1826)

Please contact me privately for more.

Hi Cousin,

That is fantastic information. Thankyou. I will contact you over weekend, as I am reading this at work. It would seem that after Peter (Snr) died in 1873 my gt grandfather (Peter) must have decided to emigrate to NZ. Coincidence that his future wife should also come from Hutchesontown? I have a photo of my gt grandfather and family that you will probably want to see. I am over the moon. Cheers.
