Annie Wark - John McClelland, Limavady

[TheMadGeneral]

My Great Grandfather John McLelland (or McClelland), b1878, d1944, married as a widower an Annie Wark. No other details are known, although I do have a photograph of Annie and John. John's first wife died in the 'Great Flu'. Her details were Elizabeth LIVINGSTONE, born 16-Dec-1881, died 16-Dec-1918. SHE HAD 11 CHILDREN. I have no other details other than they lived in Limavady, Co Londonderry, Ireland.

I am looking for any information on Annie Wark?

There’s a marriage on the GRONI website between John McClelland & Annie Warke, registered in Limavady on 11.1.1922. You can view the original certificate on-line on the GRONI website, using the “search registrations” option:

You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2.50 (sterling) to a view a certificate.

I would hazard a guess that Annie may be this lady in the 1911 census.

Her husband James died on 27.1.1917 in the Isle of Man (that’s a townland in Limavady, not the Island in the Irish Sea):

But you'll need to pay to view the 1922 certificate to find out.

Checking births for the children in the 1901 census ...

... reveals the parents to be George Nichol and Sarah Walker, I think the following civil birth registration for Nancy Nickle born in 1881 at Carnamuff townland is Annie:
