Hi William,  Thanks for the tip but at present I don't subscribe to Genes Reunited and they want £15 for a six month subscription just to contact these people.  I've spent money to access records but this seems like an expense too far especially when other sites give a free introductory period.

Can't find a death certificate for his fist wife.  Don't worry, I've already found one probable bigamous marriage!  And I've been down several wrong tracks too especially as a relative suggested my G.grandfather's name may have been Thomas.  I found a Thomas Clark from Lasswade in the 1911 census lodging a few miles away from my grandmother's home and thought it too much of a coincidence, it wasn't until weeks later when I received the marriage cert. that I found out my G.grandfather was called George.  There is a Thomas Clark born illegitimately about the right time in the Dumfries area but I've no way of telling if this is the right one either.

I dismissed this Thomas when I found him on the 1911 census still married to Mary with children Janet aged 6 and Isabella aged 1.
He had to have been in Snaith, Yorks in early 1913 at the latest because it seems my grandmother was 7 months pregnant when they married in November.

I'm trying to find any information about my grandfather Thomas Clark from Scotland.  He married Harriet Elizabeth Ruckledge in Snaith, Yorkshire in 1913.  He died, aged 68, on 12 August 1949 in Yorkshire.  His wedding cert. gives his father's name as George, occupation miner.
Our family believe he was from Dumfries.
