Selkirkshire / Lookup request for Caddonfoot MI's for Clark/Clerk
« on: Thursday 10 October 13 23:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
I would really appreciate if someone had the Caddonfoot MI's if they could look for Clark/Clerk.  I'm particularly interested in John Clark or Clerk (b. abt 1765 not in Selkirkshire-d. 18 Jan 1847 Yair) married to Margaret Grey (b. 1766-69 Jedburgh-d. 12 Dec 1852 Yair).  Their known children are:

1. Janet b. 28 Jul 1797 Lee, Interleithan, Peebleshire d. 28 Sep 1815 Yair
2. John b. 25 Dec 1801 Yair, Selkirk, Selkirkshire d. 7 Apr 1803 Yair
3. Agnes b. abt 1806  d. 13 Mar 1873 Caddonfoot, married to William Shortreed
4. John b. 1 Dec 1806 Yair mar 15 Apr 1833 Edinburgh to Catherine Macdonald; d. 6 Apr 1883 Niagara Falls, Welland Co., Ontario, Canada
5. James b. 14 Jun 1811 Maigel Pots, Galashiels, Selkirkshire; d. 1 Dec 1815 Yair

I'm particularly interested to figure out if there was another daughter or a niece Elizabeth or Betty Clerk (b abt April 1797 according to her death record) who's baptism wasn't recorded in the OPR's. In North America, Hislop descendents of Elizabeth Clark and the children of #4 John Clark identified themselves as cousins so I'm trying to see if that relationship might help clarify Elizabeth's origins.

If anyone has any suggestions of other sources to explore I'd be grateful.

Warm regards,
Jessie

Inverness / 1851 Census MIA: Hugh Fraser, b. 2Mar1783 Kirkhill & Mary McTavish ??
« on: Sunday 22 January 12 23:29 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I'd really appreciate any suggestions or help in finding in the 1851 census either Hugh Fraser, his wife Mary McTavish or 4 of their 5 children.  In particular, I'd love to have some idea of Mary McTavish's birthplace and birthdate to help find her parents.

1. Catherine Fraser, b. 8 February 1812 Kirkhill; not with the family in 1841 census in Urray
2. Frederick Fraser (b. 7 Mar 1814 Kirkhill) in 1841, living with mother-in-law Catherine Cumming in Cromdale; in 1851 census, he and his wife Janet McGregor and 2 children at Glaichbea, Kiltarlity;
3. William Fraser, b. 18 May 1817 Kirkhill; in 1841 with family in Urray
4. Janet Bethel Fraser, b. 17 Nov 1822 Kirkhill; in 1841 with family in Urray; she marries Alexander Donaldson 2 October 1857 in Glasgow, reporting her father Hugh Fraser as deceased [which was not true] and mother Mary McTavish as still living]. She dies at the N. Infirmary in Inverness in 1864 and had one son, Robert Donaldson, b. 14 Oct 1858 in Anderton, Glasgow.
5. John Fraser, bap 11 April 1828 Kilmorack [living in Muir of Ord]; in 1841, with family in Urray

By 1861 and still at his death in 1866, Hugh Fraser is with his son, Frederick at Glaichbea, seemingly living separately  from his wife as both documents state he's married but she's no where to be seen.

Any subsequent info on Catherine, William and John would also be very, very welcome!

Warm regards,
Jessie
