Wow rootgatherer thanks for that suggestion...I am actually visiting Glasgow at the end of February so will spend a couple of days at both of these places. James Clark is a hard name to track - especially without a middle name. In the meantime I'll keep searching away for my Isabella Greenaway Simpson...thanks again everyone for your time and help. |

Jacqueline with such a common name you could spend an awful lot of credits on Scotlandspeople before you found the death for Your James Clark unless you know roughly when he died and where he died. Also if he died in the last 50 years you wouldn't be able to view the entry online. The way round that is to go in person to either the Scotlandspeople Centre or the Mitchell Library in Glasgow and search the records. You can search all day for around £15.00. You can look at as many entries as time permits. You can' take printouts of recent records but you can view them and take notes. |

If he died in Scotland, you'll need SP website |

Thank you all so much for spending the time on this....I think I may follow Isabella Greenaway Simpson's mother and siblings further to see where they end up and hope that Isabella stayed near them. |

Further Helen G Simpson was 23yrs old when she married William Gilfillan (25yrs old) 11/07/1912 Bo'ness, so birth date app 1889. Her father is listed on the marriage cert as Thomas Simpson and mother Isabella Greenaway. |

It does seem too much of a coincidence for them not to be connected |

Perhaps Isabella Forrest's mother Joan Simpson was a sister or other relation of Helen Simpson?? |

That's a shame, but at least it's factual elimination |

On second thoughts, if your Isabella left her marriage to James Clark approx. 1950's, then she can't be the one marrying Geoffrey Kelf in 1942 ?? |

The age is out by 8 years, but I can't help wondering..................the name combination is very unusual, and the 'S' could (possibly) represent Simpson |

So if Isabella was born in 1912 she would be passed away by now most probably |

I've searched on Scotland's People - that's where I got the above certificate. Also search Ancestry |
