Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Previously posted by Rosie
1901 Kirkfieldbank, Lanark

Mary Ann Hastie age 49 born Carlow Ireland
Helen Clarke  ( Hastie ) age 24 born Glasgow
Emma Clarke age 3 born Lesmahagow
Annette Clarke age 11 months born Lesmahagow

I am beginning to wonder about this?
I have no doubt that this is Helen Clarke Ms Hastie but, perhaps I have misidentified daughter Caroline after all?

CLARKE
CAROLINA SOULI
F
1895
649/2 32
Kirkfieldbank


CLARKE
AMELIA TRITCHLE  Could this be Emma?
F
1897
649/2 37
Kirkfieldbank

CLARKE
ANNETTE
F
1900
649/2 18
Kirkfieldbank

Edit:
Caroline Frances Clarke b 1895 in Camlachie that I mentioned earlier, also died in 1895 .

I would say so Anne . ...You could be right about the marriage for Caroline but April would need to try and get a copy of the marriage certificate ...Not finding immigration record for Josephine  ???

I was able to locate a marriage certificate for James and Helen.

It's quite difficult to read, but yet another piece of the puzzle.

See attached

I've seen worse!

Any time you get a certificate or census you really can't read, report it to SP using the link on the web site and they will send you an improved version.

That confirms the parent's then if you have any credits left you should maybe look for them in the 1911 census to see if Helen the mother is widowed ..

Forgot to say Welcome to Rootschat April  :)

I can't thank you all enough for your help!  I've definitely been steered in the correct direction :)

Now to work on determining on how the family (and which parts of the family) made their way to Canada in time for my great grandmother to marry in 1915.

Again, thank you!  I'm sure I'll be asking more questions in the future and will spend some time searching out your database here!

April
