Kemp/Neilson

[andrew shanks]

William Strathenry Kemp married Clementina Neilson in 1855 in Falkirk.  She was born in Falkirk around 1834.

They had at least 6 children:
Robert Kemp born 1856 in Falkirk
James Neilson Kemp born 1857 in Falkirk
William Kemp born 1859 in Falkirk
Agnes Kemp born 1866 in Greenock
Clementina Kemp born 1868 in Blythswood
Henry Kemp born 1870 in Anderston

I believe that Robert Kemp was visiting his aunt in Helensburgh at the time of the 1881 census but I do not know the whereabouts of the rest of the family at that time.

I am seeking any information regarding this family and would be grateful for any assistance.

think i have found them for you. but the the mother clementina is listed as a widow and although listed at the same address is in a seperate entry on the disc i have?? 

also just to double check i looked for the youngest's birth on the igi:

NORAH KEMP 
  Female     
 Birth:  23 JAN 1873   Anderston, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
  Father:  WILLIAM STRATHERNY KEMP
  Mother:  CLEMENTINA NEILSON 

so i guess that if the entry of widow is correct for clementina then william must have died  between march 1872 and 3rd april 1881 (or sometime after norah was conceived, but before 1881 census)

hope this helps a little anyway....
