G'day Michael, Thanks for your enquiry. I have checked my files and have not found a link to your CLARKSONs. The CLARKSONs have been at Douglas for over 300 years and it is possible/probable that there has been the odd stray to other parts and because they are not a major line, my research of "missing" people is not very complete. Good luck in your further research. Bill michael paton wrote: > Bill > > I have a MARY CLARKSON born in Ayrshire.
