Thanks Skoosh

Do you have a link?

I  know I'm making a huge assumption with expecting his first born to be named after his father  - first born being Hugh. I did find Hugh's in the area when I went up there but none I could get back to him.

If only I could find that blooming death cert  :'(

Hi

No they all stayed in Paisley. Most of them ended up dying in the Poorhouse :'(

Hi Annie

No worries - you have to look!  :D

She's either shown as Martha or Mary

Best wishes

Renfrewshire / Isabella Clark - Baptism sought
« on: Friday 29 December 17 20:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

My gtx3 grandmother Isabella Bisland (nee Clark) was born in Paisley around 1817. Her parents were Archibald Clark and Jane (on some records Jean) Tweedale (shown as a multitude of things from Twiddle to Tividale).

Archibald and Jane had 6 children (so far only found 6) and there are baptism records for the first 5 then Isabella comes along and nothing. I find this odd even tho it was around the time of various things going on in the Church of Scotland.

1817 fits with info on census info and her death cert. She married John Bisland in March 1839 in Paisley. (Anyone local who knows the publican Bislands yes same family but my Bislands weren't RC).

Whilst I know for sure this is her, would just like to find her baptism if possible

Thanks

Not finding a re-marriage for her. Tho they were RC some of the children did marry in C of S so have checked all churches and - nothing.

The places where they did live were pretty bad so I don't think she'd have had a particularly long life - suspect that's why so many of them did end up in the workhouse  :'(

All I knew for certain before I checked the poor books was he'd died somewhere between that cenus and 1873 (one of his children married then and he's shown as deceased on the marriage cert)

Hi Carole

Yes he is on that 1871 but then the census was taken in April and he died in the May (now retrieved from phone :) )

Yes that Alexander Fraser I'd already looked at but it's not him - He was single tho he did die in the same place.

Thanks

Ann
