Sligo / Scott and Clarke families of Skreen
« on: Saturday 20 August 22 12:20 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to sort out the relationships of some of the Clarkes of Ardnaglass. There are a couple of Clarke families that are not supposed to be related to my Clarke family of Carrownree but I thought I would try and sort them out.
I particularly want to be sure I have the correct relationships for the Scotts who married the Clarkes in the family of John Clarke of Soodry (in Griffiths Valuations of 1857) presumed son of James Clarke of Soodry (in 1833 Tithes)
I do not have a record for the burial of this John Clarke at Skreen so think he may have died before 1877 as I only have access to the the records from 1877.
I believe John was the John Clarke of Ardnaglass who was listed as the father of the following people:
#1 Margaret Clarke aged 21 daughter of John, married John Scott of Drumnagool, son of Patrick, in 1855. So Margaret was born c1834
This couple were in Drumnagool in 1911 and are buried at Skreen.
Margaret Scott died 6 Dec 1919 aged 87 and her death was registered by her son William.
I cannot find John's death registration but the burial record shows he died April 1922 aged 93.
#2 Thomas Clarke widower aged 34, son of John,married Catherine Scott aged 25 of Carrowdurneen, daughter of Robert in 1872. So Thomas Clarke was born c1837.
This couple were at Ardabrone in 1911 and are also buried at Skreen.
Thomas Clarke died 7 May 1924 aged 87
Catherine died 18 Apr 1932 aged 90.
#3 William Clarke son of John married Emma Siddons in 1872. William's age was not given and he left Ireland before 1901, though their children were born at Soodry and baptised in Skreen apart from the youngest child Emma who was born in Boston c1885. William seems to have died between 1885 and 1887 when his wife Emma remarried. But as I have not found that death, I do not know when approximately William was born.
#4 Mary Clarke of Ardnaglass aged 17, daughter of John married Robert Scott, widower of Doonalton son of Patrick, in 1856. So Mary was born c1839.
As it happens Robert was previously married to Mary Wallace, a niece of my 2x gt grandmother Mary Wallace of Easky. At the time of that marriage (1853) Robert gave his location as Mullaroe (Skreen).
So my main question is whether the Patrick Scott, father of Robert is the same Patrick Scott who was the father of John. Patrick Scott of Drumnagool died March 1882 aged 98. Death registered by grandson William Scott.
To complete the list of children of John I have:
#5 Sarah Clarke b c 1845 m 1865 Edward Williams
#6 Susan Clarke b c 1845 m 1867 John Martin
I would be also interested to know if the two Scott families of Skreen (of Carrowdurneen and Drumnagool) were related to each other.
I would be grateful if anybody can help with this tangle of Scotts and Clarkes.
