Hi Cathy.....I did check that death out and it is not the Catherine Clark on the census you have mention....(apart from the 1841 which isn't the same one either).....as I have posted earlier the one on the census records you have posted had the maiden surname McDonald.

1895 CLARK CATHERINE MCDONALD F 82 GLENCOE AND BALLACHULISH /ARGYLL

Not the right death record so have deleted it...

The only real way to confirm it would be James mother's maiden name....then find her death cert.....which should give this.

Edit........I found the death cert for the Catherine on the 1861 census above....her maiden name was McDonald.

This is what i am hopeing after twelve years this is as far as i have got. it is so frustrating when all someone puts down is scotland or ireland. Then as stated earlier on 1911 census he finally puts Argyl. I dont know where to go from here and i know im clutching at straws, but its all i have to go on.

Not much mark except i was told james was from argyll and it wasnt until the 1911 census he finally puts down argyll and not just scotland. I suppose im hopeing as i have been researching him for over twelve years.

Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 99; Folio 18; Page 30; GSU roll: 6095209.

Probably in London b y 1871 census.

What evidence do you have to help you prove any theories you may have.......

I am desparately trying to connect my grt grandfather james clark 1845-7 scotland to a family in Appin, Argylshire. He states his father is a john clark, slate quarry worker. There is a family in Appin and the head is a john clark, slate quarry worker.
my james is living in marylebone London and working as a brewers drayman.

Fingers crossed
