Jackie, Thanks for the reply, we are in touch with several family members, but unfortunately no-one seems to know what happened to your great grandfather Samuel.....we know that he went to jail in 1899/1900 after an incident involving Susannah your great grandmother......after that nothing can be fo...

Jackie, Hello, We have been researching the Clarke family, for about 4 years now, John Clarke Snr. is my wife's father's brother, or half-brother.......we are trying to find out what happened to their grandfather, Samuel Clarke......he vanished in Ireland in the early 1900's......any information wou...

The John McBlain that we have in our tree was the son of David McBlain and Hannah McCulloch, he married Sarah Donaldson Foster McDowell Clarke, trying to find out as much as possible about her, we THINK that she died about 1951/52......Del.

Bit of a long shot this, but does anyone have, or know where I could obtain any photos of Cranemen, at Ardrossan docks ?........looking for one person in particular, Head Craneman Hugh Joseph Clarke, probably know to one and all as ''Josey''......timescale would be mid 1940's to 1960's..........as I...

Hughie, Thanks for that, not done a lot myself recently........but retiring shortly, and determined to find out what happened to Samuel Clarke......he was my wife's great grandfather.........Del.

With Hughie's post bringing this topic to life again, just wanted to say that I have still not found a death for Samuel Allan Clarke's father, Samuel snr. Although this was most likely in Ireland, if anyone has ANYTHING of interest, I would be most pleased to hear it............Del.

Hughie, Thank you for that, I see that Samuel's second name is spelt ALLEN, not ALLAN, very interesting.....one more thing, I have Sam and Jessie's deaths in Saltcoats, I assume that is where the photo was taken ?........Del.

SC, on the 1901 census, it does say that she was born in England, of course, that could be wrong.......Del.

Just realised, that ties in , with what pmlynn said, Agnes's son Hugh Calvert was born at 33 Glasgow Street Ardrossan.....in 1900.......Del.

Sheenaj, I think that Agnes McCready/McCreadie was born at Gateshead England, how she came to marry in Ireland I don't know, she was certainly in Scotland by 1901, living at 33 Glasgow St. Ardrossan.......Del.

pmlynn, Have I got this right ?.....Andrew, Hugh, William, Agnes, Margaret, Martha, Helen & Mary, where children of Hugh & Evelyn Calvert ?.......Del.

pmlynn, Andrew Calvert was killed at Ardrossan in January 1903, whilst unloading a ship, he was struck on the head by a barrel, and died at the Western Infirmary Glasgow........Del.
