Hello Fordyce, thank you so much for that I believe you might of cracked the Clark side for me  ;D all the info ive got seems to match up with what you said so im now inclined to think that my Anne is James Clark & Elspet Andrew's daughter. 
You are correct about Anne's children James & William Taylor both marrying Flett girls! Also you might find interesting the other brother Alexander Taylor died within a few days of James Taylor & are both listed on same page!
Out of interest do you have a complete list of James Clark & Elspet Andrew's children?

Craig, did you receive my holding reply to your PM? I thought I had replied, but on a different machine, but RootsChat messaging seems such a black art that I cannot find my reply. Now I'm back home, I can respond properly - but I'd rather do it via normal email, so if you can let me have your address, I can send you much more info.

Dear Craig,

James Taylor and Ann Clark were my great-great-great-great-grandparents through their son William, which I reckon makes us some kind of cousins.
I have copies of all their certs except for Ann Clark's birth cert, but I'm having a problem sending you them as attachments, so what I'll do is give you the details that's on them.

1. James Taylor:
born 15 February 1856 in Wakerdales, Rathven, Banffshire;
died 2 March 1832 in Newmill, Keith, Banffshire
married Ann Clark on 5 August 1788 in Ramore, Deskford, Banffshire
parents: James Taylor and Elspet Forbes
2. Ann Clark:
died 26 July 1836 in Newmill, Keith Banffshire
parents: James Clark and Isobel Webster

If you would like copies of the certs, just send me your email address.

Best wishes,

Iain Taylor

Dear Craig,

Just an update to say I do have Ann Clark's birth cert after all (a mix-up in my file folders). She was born on 10 November 1765 in Kinnairdy, Marnoch, Banffshire.

Best wishes,

Iain

Hullo Iain, I'm interested in the source of the date and place of death you cite for both James Taylor and Ann Clark. (They are not, as far as I can see, in the Keith Burial Books.)

As I explained earlier in the thread, I believe that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the parents of Ann Clark w/o James Taylor are James Clark & Elspet Andrew, most telling being the appearance of Ramore family witnesses to three of their children's baptisms. James Clark was tenant in Raemore from 1771 until 1819, and has no connection with Marnoch. So I would be wondering how you were able to make the connection back from Ramore to Marnoch.
