Whilst going through some old photos, I came across some pics that were sent to my Gt Grandfather William Clark. They are of his sister Isabella Clark who emigrated I beleive to America. They are of her at various stages of her life (from a young woman to her with children on holiday at Wildwood). I am unable to find her birth certificate in Scotlands People as Clark is a very popular name but I do have the 1901 census which she doesn't appear on (so birth after 1901).
Does anyone know of any sites that I could find her marriage certificate in America ? Or any information about her ?
Many thanks,
Fiona

Unfortunately I don't have a date of birrth. In the 1901 census her family lived at 52 Watsons Land, Glengowan, Caldercruix, New Monkland. The last child on this census is my gt grandfather William Clark b. 1891, so I believe she must have been born after 1901.
As to a married name, I have asked my mum and she can never recall this (she was just known as Auntie Bella from America).
Her parents were James Clark and Isabella McKim and they were married on 29/12/1882 in Kilwinning, Ayrshire.
Hoping this all helps.
