    3. Hello Listers, I am looking for information on four members of the Clark family originally of Kirkoswald, Ayrshire in Scotland. They were the sons of John Clark and Elizabeth Scott. John and Elizabeth had six children: Mary Ann Clark m. Robert Pollock 24.11.1848 in Kirkoswald and is presumed to have stayed in Scotland. Elizabeth Clark c. 15.7.1832 Ochiltree Ayrshire. m Thomas McComb 3.11.1854 and is presumed to have stayed in Scotland. Robert Clark b. 1.10.1834 Ochiltree Ayrshire Andrew Scott Clark c. 7.8.1836 Ochiltree Ayrshire William Clark b. 1840 Kirkoswald Ayrshire David Clark b. 1845 Ochiltree Ayrshire. The four brothers migrated to Australia at different times. We have no information whatsoever about Robert Clark. Andrew Scott Clark married in Ayrshire to June McCreedy (not sure of spelling) and they both came to Australia. It is thought that the brothers originally settled in the Yarrawonga/Burrumbeet area, but later moved north and settled in the Narrandera/Wagga Wagga area. Andrew Scott Clark died 12.8.1916 in Narrandera. William Clark married Annie Barr 22.6.1861 and they both came to Australia. William Clark died 16.10.1920 in Paddington, a suburb of Sydney, but was buried 19.10.1920 in Wagga Wagga. David Clark married Elizabeth Thom (b. 1844 d. 1897) at Burrumbeet Victoria. David Clark died 18.8.1901 - death by misadventure when he accidentally drowned in the Murray River. His remains were interred in Burramine, Victoria. So David remained in Victoria whilst at least Andrew Scott Clark and William Clark moved at some stage to settle in New South Wales. Any information from anybody researching these men would be very welcome. We would particularly like to know any information at all regarding Robert Clark. TIA Janet
