Josephine Helen Shiwell Clark was born 7 October 1893 at Linnville, Lesmahagow, Lanark. Her parents were James Clark, general labourer and Helen Clark, m.s. Hastie who were married 30th July 1893 at Lanark. [ref in register 649/00 0277].. You can find out more on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk where all the statutory registers and old parish registers are available. You buy credits which are £6 for 30 - you usually need at least 6 to identify a person. Hope this helps.

If the family were still in Scotland in 1901 you may find them on the census which also on Scotlands People.
6 GBP = under $US11 gives you 30 credits with which you can see up to 5 census sheets, or BMD certificates on your screen. Pretty good value really.

Stacey you might be interested in the Clarke descendants in New Zealand.
Our Ancestor Peter James Clarke (1904-1971) Son of James Clarke and Helen Hastie emigrated to New Zealand as an assisted passenger and married Joan Enid Carew in Wellington in 1929.
There are 2 children of this marriage still living in Australia and New Zealand. Daphne Joan Harvey (1930- ) nee Clarke is my Mother in Law.
I would be thrilled to share our family information with you just let me know what you need. This world really is a small place after all :)
