Hello, everyone,

I have been reading all your replies with great interest. As it was stated "Lynn has it all to sort out". I am going to take a bit of time to see what else I can find in all of my notes. The Clarke connection is my family, a different generation. My grandfather had Clarke as one of his names. So, really, it's the Margaret Jane Bridson and her parentage that is my stumbling block. I think there are a few leads in the posts here that I will investigate. A clue or two definitely helps me on this mission. So, give me a day or two to review all my information, and I will get back to you all as soon as I have more definite info. In the meantime, does anyone know of any Bridson or Kennaugh wills in this era that might help to shed some light on this? Any suggestions very much appreciated.

Thanks once again to everyone.

Lynn
