Just tried to register with scotslandspeople when I realised ( outlook ) my email provider hadn't allowed my password and log in details to come through. I used to have Hotmail and it disappeared and in its place appeared outlook, so I can't go onto scotslandspeople to do any research sadly. >:(

Why don't you set up a Yahoo email address and just use it for Scotland's People?

Check whether the e-mail is in your spam folder.

I will set up another email address, getting a bit fed up not receiving messages. Wondering if anyone is on scotslands people and if it is free to look at just to see if there is a marriage of John Clark abt 1775 to Ann McGregor. Abt 1804-5 lismore possibly. Ann could be the daughter of a Hugh McGregor or Peter.
Would be ever so grateful. :-*

Sue, unfortunately you won't know until you pay to look on SP if any additional info is included on the Old Parish Register entry for the marriage. Do you know that there is a marriage/banns entry to be found.
There is this entry showing on Family Search https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XY3C-CP2 ...likely too late from what you mentioned.
Which of their children are you interested in (your line)?
Monica
Added: SP only seem to have the 1828 marriage in Perth unfortunately.

Well done!
Personally I never use Outlook!! ;D ;D ;D

I am really pleased. I know it's a nuisance having to purchase credits -- but to a certain extent that is offset by being able to see birth, marriage and death certs on line for just 6 credits each -- (after Civil registration of course).
In addition the death certs are a mine of information. Irrespective of the age of the deceased person, you will be given the spouses name (including a maiden name) AND their parents' names, including mother's maiden name. That's brilliant I think.

can I ask please my Catherine McDonald's mother is a christina Mccorquodale, will she have died using her maiden name of McCorquodale possibly if her husband had died before her possibly.
sue ???

If you are looking for a statutory death reg. post 1855, normally for married women deaths would be recorded under both the married and the maiden surnames which is a great bonus. In Scotland, by law, women never 'lost' their maiden name. This is the reason that maiden names feature so strongly on so many documents and registrations for married women...which is great for a researcher trying to find details on married women.
Before 1855, harder to say how the death or burial would have been recorded in the Old Parish Registers. There may be no details to be found, for all sorts of reasons.

If you cannot find her death -- and her husband did die before her -- bear in mind that she may have remarried. However her maiden name should still be shown on her death certificate post 1855.
If you can't find her -- just give us her approximate birth year, probable death location and time frame. Someone else may be able to help you.

Hi Sue,
Did you not receive the copy of Ann Clark's ( MS McGregor) death certificate that I sent to you late last week? Check your spam. Maybe it is there.

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

Nan she is on ancestry

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
