Nan Hello
I am in contact with a lady called Janette
She is connected to our Clark family. She has informed me her father was told by his Grandfathers sister, that  some of the clark family left and went down to kent to work as miners. most stayed in Argyle worked at the Ballachulish slate quarry and over at Lismore and Isle of Sell.
It was rumored they may have originally have been Mc Gregors who had changed thier name after being outlawed.  ann clark was a mcgregor and her father went under the names of macgell, mcgyle, even mcgrigor. some even used the name campbell or graham.
Janettes fathers great aunts janet and nicholas stayed with her family when they worked as nurses in London. This all she can remember being told.


This maybe why My james left Scotland ?


lots of bestest wishes

Hi Sue,
It was nice to hear from you again. You have provided me with a few new details to check out. I didn't know of any connection to the Isle of Sell or the various names used by Ann McGregor's father.
How did you learn about them?
Cheers, Nan

Hi Sue,
I had another look today on Ancestry for her but cannot find anything. Would you please give me exact instructions. Thank you.
Check out the website: www.gravestonephotos.com. If you go to ST. John's in Ballachulish you can see pictures of many of the Clark and family gravestones. I found the site interesting.
cheers, Nan
