Constance Clark

[bluemale38]

Require help in tracing family tree, been in Scotland’s people and still slightly lost.

My wife’s grandmother was born 1910 Helen McKenzie Clark, mother listed as Constance Clark on her marriage to Thomas McLaughlin.

Now looking at the poorhouse census in 1911 we found Constance age 26 and Helen aged 1 in Elgin poorhouse, we can’t find any marriage or death fir Constance Clark or Innes ,

If anyone can help would be really helpful, did find a Constance Innes born to a Jane Innes no father in 1880,

HELP before the other half spends another £20 per night clinking on a Constance that isn’t the right one

mother listed as Constance Clark on her marriage to Thomas McLaughlin.

we can’t find any marriage or death fir Constance Clark or Innes ,

Where does Innes feature?  You say Helen was born as Clark and her mother was also Clark

If Constance was 26 in 1911 that gives an 1884/5 birthyear.  Does the entry show her birthplace?

Is Constance shown as married/widowed or single

1901 has one b 1883 Urquhart and she is with grandparents in 1891

My wife’s grandmother was born 1910 Helen McKenzie Clark,

She was born 1909 - have you downloaded her birth cert?

[Rosinish]

Agree with Carole,

Birth will give at least mother's name (if illegitimate).

Meanwhile death;

MCLAUGHLIN HELEN MCK 63
1973
302/ 709
Aberdeen

Matching ref. for surname Clark

"mother listed as Constance Clark on her marriage to Thomas McLaughlin"

Is the mother still alive on the marriage or recorded as deceased?

Thank you too everyone

We found the marriage certificate for Helen McKenzie Clark married Thomas McLaughlin in 1932 in aberdeen she was 22 and her mother was Constance Clark, not down as deceased.

Now I have searched for Constance Clark death can’t find her anywhere,

We did find a Constance Clark in the poor house Elgin in 1911, along with her daughter Helen McKenzie Clark.

We believe Constance was born to Jean Innes as no father

Where did Constance Clark or innes go, she’s on the marriage cert of Helen and no records after that

Did find s record as mentioned here of jean innes husband dying in accident Lossiemouth harbour.

Any pointers or further help would be great, Mrs was up till well past 1am looking, no other family members alive to ask

Regards Jim
