Has anyone anything on Maxwell Clark c 1828 in the census' Kirkgunzeon Kirk.
Wife Mary Crosbie.
He maybe the son of Maxwell Clark c 1781 and Ann Nielson c 1799.
These parents I cannot find in the 51 to check their birth places.
There is also a Maxwell C c 1826 s/o William and Agnes Millar but the date of birth is too far from 1828/9.
Have checked scotlands people.
Is there anywhere else I can go to search
Thanks Lis

Hi Lis
I've found a whole set of what I think is the correct family in the Kirkgunzeon MIs. Certainly quite a few Maxwell and William's are mentioned.
It will take me a little while to sort out.
Which census are you referring to -?
Regards

I have found the Clark family in the 41 with Maxwell c 1781 and son Max c 1829 and mother Ann c 1799. She is Ann Nielson but I cannot find the in the 51 so I looked for a death of Ann or Maxwell but no.
Son Maxwell who marries Mary Crosbie I have found in the 61 only when they have daughter Jane 2 mths old -correct !
But to find more about Ann I was hoping she would be alive for the 51!
So not much to go on
Thanks for your help with this

Hi
if this is the family then ~
From the MIs
Maxwell Clark, esq in Little Culmain, Urr d. 6 jan 1860 aged 81 (father was William Clark in Cowar)
wife Annie Neilson, Little Culmain, Urr, d. 17 Oct 1871, aged 71
son Walter of Little Culmain d. 28 mar 1868 aged 7 months (this is what it says but something wrong with dates/ages here)
Maxwell Clark, younger of Culmain Bank, agent in Congleton, Cheshire d. 3 July 1882, aged 31
Maxwell Clark of Little Culmain d. 23 Feb 1891, aged 65.
His wife Agnes Thomson d. 3 April 1902 aged 87.
John Clark d. 22 Denton Grove, Liverpool 10 Aug 1884 aged 27 - father Maxwell Clark, Culmain
Brother Robert d. 13 October 1921 aged 61
The Mi is a little confused. I'll see if i can find any other records.
It would seem that they moved to Urr though.
So far there is no mention of Mary Crosbie but there's lots to plough through.

The records for children of Maxwell Clark and Ann(ie) Nielson are a wee bit sparce. I have:
15 Aug 1824 (bpt) - Elizabeth, Kirkgunzeon
12 Oct 1828 (bpt) - William, Urr
also:
marriage-
26 Oct 1850 Maxwell Clark to Agnes Thomson, Urr
also a marriage of a Mary Crosbie:
12 Dec 1851 to Thomas Watson, Urr
I can't find a marriage between a Maxwell Clark and a Mary Crosbie either before or after 1855.

Thats so great Gadget Thank you for all of that. May be I have chosen the wrong Maxwell Clark who married Mary Crosbie. I dont think so though.
He was born 1828/9 and she was 6 yrs older Mary that is.
The puzzle continues.
Thanks again

To fill in some gaps for me and anyone else searching. This is the family in 1861 -
Caerlaverock, DFS
815 Ed 3 page 8-9
Maxwell Clark, 32, ploughman, b. Kirkgunzeon
Mary, 38, b. Caerlaverock,
James C, 12, b. Caerlaverock
Jannet , 10, b. Caerlaverock
Agnes M, 8, b. Caerlaverock
Maxwell JC, 6, b. Caerlaverock
Mary C, 1, b. Caerlaverock
Jane C, 2 months, b. Caerlaverock
Given that there is a daughter Agnes and not Ann, i would think that the mother Agnes Millar should not be discounted.
John Maxwell Crosbie Clark (aged 6 on here) was b. 4 Feb 1855. It would be worth downloading his birth cert from SP as the 1855 ones give a lot more info than the others.
I'll continue the search.

I don't see a death for him - the only one showing is the one on the MI. (d. 1891, etc.) Did Mary and Maxwell move away from Dumfriesshire?
They're still there in 1871 and in 1881 (Maxwell now b. New Abbey)

Hi Lis
The 1881, 1891 and 1901 have him as b. New Abbey not Kirkgunzeon.
I think we'd best look there.

Something funny is going on 
I think he may have re-married a Mary Cowan and Mary Crosbie might have died
I'll have to investigate a bit more

From the 1871 and 1881 census, it would seem that Mary Crosbie died in the later part of the 1860s and Maxwell married Mary Cowan sometime after 1868/9:
1871
Green Mill, Caerlaverock
815 ED 2 page 1
Maxwell, 43, labourer, b. New Abbey
Mary, 34,
Jane, 10
Whillhilmina, 8
Richard, 6
Mary, 1 month
James Cowan, stepson, 2
all b. Caerlaverock except Maxwell
1881
Holland Bank, Caerlaverock
815 ED 3
Maxwell Clark, 53, labourer, b. New Abbey
Mary Cowan or Clark, 45, labourer's wife
Richard Crosbie Clark, 17, labourer,
James Cowan, 12, stepson
Mary Clark, 10
Joseph Cowan Clark, 7
Elizabeth Clark, 5,
Edward N? Clark, 3,
all b.Caerlaverock except Maxwell
I haven't found a marriage for Maxwell and Mary Cowan yet. It might well have been a common law one

Just to bring them up to 1901:
1891
Church Road, Caerlaverock
815 Ed 2
Maxwell, 63, Ag labourer, b. New Abbey
Mary, 55, grocer, b. Caerlaverock
Elizabeth N, 15, b. Caerlaverock
Edward N, 13, Caerlaverock
1901
815 ED 2
Bridgeend Grocer's Shop, Caerlaverock
Maxwell, 73, Grocver shopkeeper, b. New Abbey
Mary, 65, b. Caerlaverock
I'll check back to the 1841 and 1851.

1851
Loaning Head, Caerlaverock
815 ED 3 Page 5
Maxwell, 22, Tile Maker's labourer, b. Kikgunzeon
Mary, 28, b.Caerlaverock
James, 2, b.Caerlaverock
Jannet, 1 month, b. Caerlaverock
1841
The alternative to the one you found with Maxwell and Ann*
Dalbeattie Society Street, Urr
884 ED 6 Page 23
William Clark, 50-54, mason
Agnes, 45-49
Maxwell, 10
Helen, 10
Agnes, 8
Elizabeth, 2 (?)
John Clark, visitor - no age
All b. KKD
* note that it is the son of Maxwell and Ann Neilson who was b. circa 1826 on the 1841.
There is also a Maxwell C c 1826 s/o William and Agnes Millar but the date of birth is too far from 1828/9.

Another MI from Kirkgunzeon.
I think that this one is for William Clark and Agnes Millar:
William Clark d. 20 June 1853, aged 65
wife Agnes Millar d. 26 Dec 1848, aged 56
son John d. 20 June 1835, aged 15
son William d. Gateside 7 June 1869, aged 54 (wife Jean Leachman Stewart d. Terregles village 22 march 1908, aged 91)
daughter Jessie d. 28 Feb 1881, aged 35
daughter Elizabeth d. Old Mill, Lohfoot 7 July 1911, aged 69 (husband James Hunter)
Erected by son Maxwell
