    3. Hello Joy, and others: Welcome. Sorry I do not have a Charlotte Clark , off hand, that I know of; however, I do have Clarks who were in Scotland, and Ontario, Canada before going to MA and RI area USA. I would be interested in knowing the names of Charlotte's spouse and children and their locations if known. My Great big brick wall is at my Great-grandfather's level: Alexander Clark, b:ca 1844 Scotland; emigrated at some time prior to 1871 to Lincoln Co. Ontario, Canada. I have NO information on his Parents, ancestors, Siblings and very little on his descendants. Thus, I check out anyone who was in Ontario particularly...and their movements. My Alexander CLARK, I assume, married Mary BOYD about 1871. No marriage record found. They had a daughter, Mary CLARK, b: 10 Oct 1872 in Grantham, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. (I believe the BOYDs...John BOYD & Mary GUTHRIE emigrated from Paisley, Renfrew, Scot between January 1868 and June 1870, (IAW the birth places of several children. ) Mary Boyd was the eldest of the children. Also, Mary Boyd b: 28 Oct 1850, Middle Paisley, Renfrew, Scot.and Alexander Clark, b:ca 1844, Scot, had a son, William Alexander CLARK, b: Feb 1877, in Merritton, Lincoln Co. Ontario, Canada. NO Birth record . However, I have my Grandfather's Naturalization Papers which name his Parents as Alexander Clark and Mary Boyd. Alexander Clark and Mary Boyd emigrated from Ontario, Canada , about 1879 and appear on the 1880 MASS Census in Attleborough, Bristol Co. MA. with 3 children in household. Mary, 7 yr; Wm,4 yr, (Grandfather) and one listed as Other...John CLARK,1 yr. born in Canada of Scots Parentage. (Still do not know who he is or how related.) (On my Grandfather's Naturalization Papers, it indicates that he emigrated from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada to NY via New York Central Railway on 1 April 1879. (Assume with his Parents and/or the Boyds. ) John BOYD & Mary GUTHRIE appeared on the 1880 RI Census, in Lincoln, Providence Co. RI with four children (Mary NOT one of them.) ( William, b:16 Aug 1853, Abbey, Paisley, Renfrew,Scot.; Archibald b:ca 22 Oct 1855Abbey, Paisley,Renfrew; John b:19 Apr 1860;Abbey (Paisley, Renfrew & Margaret Fairbairn BOYD., b: ca 1866.) 2 or 3 other children were previously deceased. ( including an Alexander ,(perhaps b: ca 28 July 1858 1 male Boyd (perhaps a first James, b:18 DEC 1862, Abbey Paisley, Renfrew; and a 2nd ? James Boyd. born last in Ontario, Canada and died.) Only further information...on Boyds...I have the death certificates of these three Boyd Brothers who are buried in the Mashausuck (sp?)Cemetery in Central Falls, RI. And, it was stated by someone else, that John Boyd, the Father is buried there also and that he died on 3 September 1899 in RI. Apparently some records at this Cemetery were burned in a fire of 1899!! So far, I have no information on the deaths or other! locations of all the women in this family and nothing more on any other Clark children born in MA or RI. Other names mentioned in my search were two informants from the Boyd Boys Death Certificates: John ADAMS or rel; and Janet WILSON. I have more on my Grandfather's marriage and Son: my Dad etc in MA and CT. Can you identify or connect with any of these names and provide me with the data on Charlotte Clark? Thank you in advance. Hope this helps all of us. Regards, Barb Barbara Clark lorieclark@earthlink.net Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.
