Hi Malcolm, Why it just so happens that Golspie is the exact spot where 7 of the Stephen Clark kids were born between 1820 and 1831! It just couldn't be possible that the 1821 Golspie census could list Steve! Could it? Given my luck Steve probably lived 100 feet outside the town limits. These little bits of info are why I continue to check your new Sutherland website, but my batting average will not ever be very high. Thanks, Bob Eckerman.
