Evening James...Knew you would eventually end up over the water..!!


May the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye'll ivver see.
May the moose ne'er lea' yer girnal wi a tear-drap in its ee.
May ye aye keep hail an hertie till ye'r auld eneuch tae dee.
May ye aye juist be sae happie as A wuss ye aye tae be.

Happy Hogmanay

There's the difficulty with trying to find a birth date and place of birth when someone was born before civil registration of 1864 in Ireland.

You could try http://www.findmypast.co.uk/army-service-records-search.action?redef=M&submit=1 - in case he has army records there.

Thank you very much Anne, I will work on the information you have given me and amend my tree accordingly.

Thanks Again,

James

Not sure about this as his age is out, but this appears to be the family of Peter Clusker who married Maggie O'Donnelly in Denny, Stirlingshire in 1896.
( I suspect Maggie was married before?)

Thanks Anne,

I have most of the information for his siblings, somehow there is little information on James, I only discovered him when I was looking at other Clusker marriage on SP and noted who his parents were on his marriage certificate and thought I have those parents on my tree so decided to look further into James.

Wishing You A Very Happy & Prosperous New Year

Can anyone assist, I am trying to find information on the birth of a James Clusker, he married a Mary McDade in 1884 in Fauldhouse in Scotland, the marriage certificate shows his father as Patrick Clusker and his mother, I can't read it clearly, I think is says she was a Susan MacLare.

On the 1901 Census for Scotland he is living in West Lothian and his birth place is given as Ireland. I am trying to confirm his date and place of birth and that his parents were Patrick Clusker and Susan MacLare.

Best Wishes & A Happy New Year to all of you who voluntarily give your time to help us amateurs :-)
