Maxwell CLARK

[lisingreece]

Has anyone anything on Maxwell Clark c 1828 in the census' Kirkgunzeon Kirk.

Wife Mary Crosbie.

He maybe the son of Maxwell Clark c 1781 and Ann Nielson c 1799.
These parents I cannot find in the 51 to check their birth places.

There is also a Maxwell C c 1826 s/o William and Agnes Millar but the date of birth is too far from 1828/9.

Have checked scotlands people.

Is there anywhere else I can go to search

Thanks Lis

Hi Lis

I've found a whole set of what I think is the correct family in the Kirkgunzeon MIs. Certainly quite a few Maxwell and William's are mentioned.

It will take me a little while to sort out.

Which census are you referring to -?

I have found the Clark family in the 41 with Maxwell c 1781 and son Max c 1829 and mother Ann c 1799. She is Ann Nielson but I cannot find the in the 51 so I looked for a death of Ann or Maxwell but no.

Son Maxwell who marries Mary Crosbie I have found in the 61 only when they have daughter Jane 2 mths old -correct !

But to find more about Ann I was hoping she would be alive for the 51!

So not much to go on

Thanks for your help with this

Hi

if this is the family then ~

From the MIs

Maxwell Clark, esq in Little Culmain, Urr d. 6 jan 1860 aged 81 (father was William Clark in Cowar)
wife Annie Neilson, Little Culmain, Urr,  d. 17 Oct 1871, aged 71
son Walter of Little Culmain d. 28 mar 1868 aged 7 months (this is what it says but something wrong with dates/ages here)

Maxwell Clark, younger of Culmain Bank, agent in Congleton, Cheshire d. 3 July 1882, aged 31

Maxwell Clark of Little Culmain d. 23 Feb 1891, aged 65.
His wife Agnes Thomson d. 3 April 1902 aged 87.

John Clark d. 22 Denton Grove, Liverpool 10 Aug 1884 aged 27 - father Maxwell Clark, Culmain
Brother Robert d. 13 October 1921 aged 61

The Mi is a little confused. I'll see if i can find any other records.

It would seem that they moved to Urr though.

So far there is no mention of Mary Crosbie but there's lots to plough through.

The records for children of Maxwell Clark and Ann(ie) Nielson are a wee bit sparce. I have:

15 Aug 1824 (bpt) - Elizabeth, Kirkgunzeon
12 Oct 1828 (bpt) - William, Urr

also:

marriage-

26 Oct 1850 Maxwell Clark to Agnes Thomson, Urr

also a marriage of a Mary Crosbie:

12 Dec 1851 to Thomas Watson, Urr

I can't find a marriage between a Maxwell Clark and a Mary Crosbie either before or after 1855.

Thats so great Gadget Thank you for all of that. May be I have chosen the wrong Maxwell Clark who married Mary Crosbie. I dont think so though.

He was born 1828/9 and she was 6 yrs older Mary that is.

The puzzle continues.

Thanks again

To fill in some gaps for me and anyone else searching. This is the family in 1861 -

Caerlaverock, DFS
815 Ed 3 page 8-9

Maxwell Clark, 32, ploughman, b. Kirkgunzeon
Mary, 38, b. Caerlaverock,
James C, 12, b. Caerlaverock
Jannet , 10, b. Caerlaverock
Agnes M, 8, b. Caerlaverock
Maxwell JC, 6, b. Caerlaverock
Mary C, 1, b. Caerlaverock
Jane C, 2 months, b. Caerlaverock

Given that there is a daughter Agnes and not Ann, i would think that the mother Agnes Millar should not be discounted.

John Maxwell Crosbie Clark (aged 6 on here) was b. 4 Feb 1855. It would be worth downloading his birth cert from SP as the 1855 ones give a lot more info than the others.

I'll continue the search.

I don't see a death for him - the only one showing is the one on the MI. (d. 1891, etc.) Did Mary and Maxwell move away from Dumfriesshire?

They're still there in 1871 and in 1881 (Maxwell now b. New Abbey)

Hi Lis

The 1881, 1891 and 1901 have him as b. New Abbey not Kirkgunzeon.

I think we'd best look there.
