I have to do a biography on the above Rev Richard Clark who became Minister of Whamphray Church. He had 3 children Alexander, Olive and another daughter. I believe both daughters emigrated to New Zealand. Is there anyone there who has information on them or him
Many Thanks
Ruth Ingham

Wamphray was a parish in Dumfries, abt 15km N of Lockerbie on (or just E of) the Carlisle-Glasgow road. Moffat is the next parish to the N.

One can check out old places in SCT as well as see old maps showing parishes at:
