lost family

[sueault]

Hello all,
Can anyone help or make a suggestion please.
My grt x 2 grandfather a James Clark has finally and I mean finally let me know he isn't just from Scotland, all census from 1871-1901. 1911 census he has finally put argyshire, now to many of you this doesn't mean a lot but to myself and another very distant relative this is gold. James  abt 1847  ends up in lambeth and marries a Harriett loveland 1871. His occupation is a porter believed to be Railway. He then spends some time in Holborn and mostly marylebone and his occupation is now a brewers drayman.
He states his fathers name on his marriage cert as a John Clark, and john's occupation is a slatequarry worker. There is a likely family in ballachulish but another researcher said this was her family and her James goes onto marry in Scotland. I am hoping she is wrong and this family is mine, I really want it to be.
Any suggestions.

For reference to others this is the `wrong` family.  but seems to be the same family in all census.
James has gone by  1871, and   this is the marriage of your James
Free BMD Marriages Sep 1870   Lambeth.
Perhaps the other person can tell you when her James married and to who, and where  he is in later census.
Then you might be able to trace the other James and eliminate him.
Sorry to not have any more help for you.

Isn't it unusual to have an 18 year-old scholar in a family of quarry worker?

 your asking a 12 year research novice
I suppose normally they wouldnt be scholars at 18 ?

what's your thinking.

He could be younger than stated.

Hi

According to the 1851 he was 4 and then according to the 1861 he is 18    Looks like a simple mistake.

You can`t check originals on Ancestry for Scotland..
Perhaps we can trace this one and the other one ?

[sueault]
