OneFootInTheGrave Report 22 Feb 2014 12:54

While sorting out some strays in my tree I found that Susan Clusker married an Edward Comerford. Below is the information from Scotlands People and this is definitely my Susan as the marriage certificate gives the parents that I have for her, she was born to Felix Clusker and Agnes McMahon on 22/01/1894 at East Boreland, Denny, Falkirk, in Scotland.

That said, on the marriage certificate she has signed herself as Susan Price (Widow) - I am presuming she was previously married to someone called Price but I cannot trace that marriage :-(

1 1919 COMERFORD EDWARD MCCLUSKEY SUSAN BATHGATE /WEST LOTHIAN 662/01 0057

2 1919 COMERFORD EDWARD PRICE SUSAN BATHGATE /WEST LOTHIAN 662/01 0057

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

If you feel like spending money on it, you could ask about him at the A&S Highlanders Museum in Stirling:

ArgyllGran - That death, age. etc all seem to fit, she married James Price/Rice in 1917 and he was killed in action in France in November 1917, she then went on to marry Edward Comerford in September 1919, think I am happy with that but will do more research on all three individuals - Thank You <3
