My husband is Robert John Wark - 1932- present, son of Herbert John Wark (1901- 1997) and Jean McGraw, Herbert's 1st wife, and great grandson of the above - Samuel Wark (1826-1892) and Elizabeth Kerr, grandson of their son Samuel John Wark (1863-AFT1949)and Mary E. "Nellie" Lane.

Herbert John (1901-1997) had four siblings Amy; Laurence - killed in WW1; Norman - married lived in Perth,ONT had daughter Eleanor; and Ruth (we think??)

Amy married Tom Salkell, a farmer at Lucknow, ONT They had Mary, Dorothy, Helen and Laurence.

Herbert's 2nd wife Anna Alberta Lee born in Saskatchewan. They had a son Laurence Lee Wark born 1942 in Brockville Ontario? He married Jacqueline ?? and they had two children Douglas and a daughter, Kimberly

Some years ago we met,quite by accident at Victoria's airport, a Clinton Wark, whose family has an annual "reunion" in the Okanogan area of BC.

Hello, I am researching the Wark family. I know a lot of folks have done this since your original posting but trying to get some information as Elizabeth Wark's son, Aaron, was my great-great grandfather. I am trying to trace back and like everyone else finding little documentation. Were you ever able to get a specific marriage for her? Thanks.

The mention of Morgan, VT caught my eye. John Wark (1843-1910) moved to Morgan from Quebec in the late 1860s. He married Frances Miles in Morgan in 1869, Their first 3 children were born in Morgan - Daniel, Sarah & Leas. John & Frances then moved back to Quebec (Thetford & Leeds, Megantic), where they had 3 more children.

John was my GG-granduncle.

If anyone is watching, I'd be happy to share info.

Good afternoon ,

Thank you for your emails from the last day! I am very happy with it and find it very nice that we have the same ancestors. Last few days I have been busy finding a document for us interrupting the birth of Johann Albert Wark with Thedinghausen as birthplace. It was a lot of detective work but I found it yesterday, awesome! I understand that you also have contact with Ger Wark from Amsterdam. This is a cousin of mine and together we search for the Wark-history.

After Christmas, I have more time to write together!

I wish a merry Christmas for my family in Australia, Yvonne Wark , Amsterdam Holland

1846 married November 10, 1813 to Mette Horling, born Westerwisch
January 3, 1786, deceased April 21, 1851.

Re: WARK

wark51 — 2011-12-18 08:50:33Z

The surname Wark is very very seldom here in Germany and it seems, that
it comes from only one farm in Thedinghausen-Westerwisch (near Bremen).
The farm history (list with its owners) is here:

history/owners of farm nr. 7 in Thedinghausen-Westerwisch, written by
Ernst Hadler from Thedinghausen abt. 1984.

At farm Nr. 7 is following listed:
farmowners at Nr. 7 (Brinksitzer = means brinksitter (a small farm)), housename: Warks-house

1. Hinrich Wark (1610 mentioned Warks widow)
2. Hinrich Wark married 1640 Alke Kluebers
3. Hinrich Wark, born in Thedinghausen-Westerwisch abt. 1650 married
October 12, 1684 to Anna Wicke, born abt. 1647 from Felde-Riede.
4. Johann Wark born abt 1696 in Westerwisch married October 23, 1710 to
Margarethe Glander from Schwarme.
5. Eyler Beneke married May 25, 1730 the widow Anna Wark (Anna Margarethe nee Glander?).
6. Johann Wark married November 21, 1737 Gesche Voss from Westerwisch Nr. 32.
7. Harm Hinrich Wark, born March 3, 1743, deceased. bef, 1816 married
September 21, 1772 to Anna Zum Bahlen, born September 25, 1748 in
Emtinghausen Nr. 3, deceased December 29, 1816 in Westerwisch.
8. Johann Hinrich Wark, born September 20, 1788, deceased November 11,
1846 married November 10, 1813 to Mette Horling, born Westerwisch
January 3, 1786, deceased April 21, 1851.
9. Johann Wark, born August 18, 1826, deceased May 18, 1876 mariied
bef. 1856 to Margarethe Adelheid Brand, born August 24, 1825 in
Westerwisch, deceased April 26, 1880 in Westerwisch.
10 Heinrich Wark, born January 27 1856 married first July 29, 1880 to Rebecca Winkelmann, born in Emtinghausen August 21, 1858, deceased April 16, 1887 in Westerwisch. He married a second time June 9, 1901 to Catharine Margarethe nee Luers, widowed Cranz born in Westerwisch March 4, 1849
11. A son was Johann
12. the farm was sold to Johann Luers from Hagen-Grinden

----------------------
To the history:
The farm Westerwisch 7 was already mentioned in an ownerlist of 1610
and "survived" the 30year-war. The farm had 5 Hectare own land, not
enough to live from it, so the Warks had other professions.
In 1901 Heinrich Wark was mentioned as cigarmaker.
There are Warks living in Bremen and Beppen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats the history of farm nr. 7.
The firstname Johann Albert appears also in the family (one was born
1819 and could be your ancestor), so it might be possible, that your family-twig belongs also to
this family.
At least two members of this family emigrated to Australia. Descendants of them are still living there.
I have a family-tree from this twig and can send it to you if you like.

I visited the churchbook-office in Thedinghausen abt. 3 month ago and
can check the churchbook again for Johann Albert and Elisabeth Köhler (I assume, that this might be her real surname).
It seems, that this couple emigrated to Amsterdam, so is it possible to find their death-registration? Perhaps there is some more information given about the date/place of birth and so on.

By the way, I am not directly related to the Wark-family only connected by marriages.

Thats all for the moment. I wish you a happy day,

Claremont Courier newspaper Dec 1st 1921 Thursday
TO TRAVEL ABROAD
Mr.Wark of Pomona college has about perfected his plans for a personally conducted tour of Europe by students of Pomona college. Mr.Wark expects his party to sail from New York about June 17th and will return in time for the opening of the college on Sept 18th. The tour will be open to all those whose applications are favorably passed upon by the college authorities and who meet the expenses connected with the trip. It will be the aim of those in charge of the trip to make it as inexpensive as possible and also emphasize the educational value of the excursion.
The plan for the trip call for a visit to Italy, where the famous centers of art will be visited.From Italy the party will go into Switzerland and then will visit the Passion Play, which is to be revived next summer at Oberammergau. After visiting several cities in Bavaria the tourists will go down the Rhine to Holland and Belgium. An excursion into France,including Paris and the war zone, will be made before the channel is crossed and England and Scotland visited. The tour will take 3 months and an effort will be made to see as many of the famous European cities and historical places as possible.
Lectures on the historical scenes visited and on the history of the various countries visited will be given by Mr.Wark, who has visited Europe several times and has made an extensive study of European art,culture and history.

William O. Wark is listed in the 1930 census as living in Pasadena,California,age 63 and born in Canada,divorced and occupation listed as agent tours. His ex-wife Katharine or Catharine and his daughter Davida Wark are listed with him in the 1920 census in Pomona,Ca.

Mr. William O.Wark,Katharine D. and dau Davida

lastonestanding — 2011-09-11 22:49:50Z

Claremont Courier newspaper on Sec 1 1921 in Claremont,California

Mr.William O.Wark has bought a lot on College Avenue, near Tenth Street, and will erect a residence. When he moved his family here he bought a house on Sixth street and is now living in it, but will make his permanent home in his new house.

The 1910 census does state that Katharine has only been married once for 8 years and that she has had only one child.

Mrs. Katharine D. Wark, housewife at W 10th Street,Republican

Re: John and Mary Wark, adopted parents to Benjamin Wark?

rjwarrior86 — 2011-06-27 20:45:32Z

Yes, that would be the correct family line. I guess the fact that Benjamin Wark is adopted presents a new obstacle for me. In order to truly trace my family, I'd have to somehow figure out who Benjamin Wark's blood parents were.

Re: John and Mary Wark, adopted parents to Benjamin Wark?

CherylWark21 — 2011-06-27 18:40:22Z

I don't have much on Scotland Wark's at this time, however it is believed that my Wark's originally came from Scotland, I haven't been able to trace them back that far.
Have you looked at Familysearch, I just had a quick look and found in the
1900 Census, United States, Wilkesbarre Twp., Luzerne, Pennsylvania,
John Wark, 51, born July 1848, Scotland, immigrated 1881, married for 28 years, coalminer, parent's born Scotland
Mary Wark, 48, born Jan.1852, Scotland, immigrated 1881, parent's born Scotland, mother of 0 children
Benjamin ark, born Aug.1883, Pennsylvania, adopted son

1930 Kenmore,Erie, New York, United States
Benjamin Wark, 47, born Pennsylvanis
Sarah M Wark, 43
La Moine Wark, 10, ,male, child
Glen H Wark, 8, male child

Would this be the correct family and do you all ready have this information?

Re: John and Mary Wark, adopted parents to Benjamin Wark?

rjwarrior86 — 2011-06-27 16:26:30Z

I really don't have a lot of information about them, unfortunately. I'm still trying to confirm that everything I have above my grandparents is correct, as well. Unfortunately, my family didn't do a very good job keeping track of this stuff, so trying to rebuild a family tree from scratch is pretty difficult.

I'm not sure how big your database of Warks is, but could you perhaps confirm that my information is correct? I know for sure that my great-grandfather is Benjamin Wark, and that his wife was Sarah Semmer. Let me know what info you need, and I'll try my best to provide it.

If it helps any, I'm told that my family is from Scotland, so I guess that would rule out the ones from Canada or Australia.

Re: John and Mary Wark, adopted parents to Benjamin Wark?

Cherylwark_1 — 2011-06-27 15:58:36Z

Could you give me further information of your John and Mary Wark, I do have a huge database on Wark/Warke/Work's and may be able to help you if you could give me futher information of this family.

Thanks,Cheryl

John and Mary Wark, adopted parents to Benjamin Wark?

rjwarrior86 — 2011-06-26 18:50:30Z

I'm still pretty new to this family tree business, and I seem to have hit a plateau with my genealogy. My great-grandfather is Benjamin Wark, who was apparently an adopted-son to John and Mary Wark. Benjamin married Sarah Semmer, and they gave birth to Glen, LaMoine, Howard, and Mildred Wark.

I would like to find more information in regards to Benjamin Wark and his "father" John Wark, and if at all possible, maybe find Benjamin's blood father. I have found several results for a John Wark in Canada, and some Warks out of Australia, but cannot draw the lines. The John Wark I'm looking for was apparently born in 1848, if my info is correct.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you are able to provide.

Immigration to Canada from No. Ireland of David Wark about 1823

mp285 — 2011-01-19 15:47:51Z

I have traced my branch of the Wark family back to David Wark who immigrated from Ballykelly, No. Ireland, with his daughter Jane and her husband Alexander Cochrane. I would like to trace the family back even further in Ireland. I believe David was born in Londonberry County, No. Ireland in 1774, but have found no record of this.

Wark from Ireland to Montreal, Quebec

CherylWark21 — 2010-11-02 02:06:47Z

Recently I found that my great great grandfather JAMES WARK born 1810 Donegal, Ireland, had 6 brothers and two sisters. Apparantly his father came to Canada a couple of times and then sent for some of the family to come from Donegal,apparantly they were lost at sea, not sure how many or who came over. James Wark then went to live with his Aunt Louden in the Myroe, Londonderry Ireland area, until he came to Canada about 1840 to Join his brother's and sister.
The brother's I now know of are, WILLIAM WARK born about 1804, in 1858 he arrived aboard the Argentinus from Londonderry to Quebec with his wife: JANE, 50, daughters, MARY JANE, 20, ANN, 13, and sons, JAMES, 18, WILLIAM 16. 1861 and 1871 this family can be found at Hacques-Cartier, Quebec, in 1881 they are in Windsor, Richmond& Wolfe, Quebec.
ROBERT WARK, born about 1805, Ireland, he immigrated from Londonderry 1823,in Quebec.
And sister SARAH WARK, born about 1813,married 1845, Montreal, Quebec to JOSEPH MARTIN, SARAH died in Montreal, 1883.
There are a lot of Wark's in the Montreal area and so far it is looking like most of them are related. I would be interested in hearing from other Wark researchers in this area.

I recently received an old letter with some further information of my great great grandfather James Wark born 1810, Donegal,Ireland and died 1907, Manitoba, Canada, buried Boissevain Cemetery.
In this letter Robert says that James was born at Mount Argus, could that possibly have been Argory Hill, has anyone had any Wark family in this area, or familiar with any of the names mentioned in the old letter below?

Windsor
May 28th 1907
To Harry Wark ( son of James Wark and Mary Ann Terry)

Dear Cousin, I hope that you and your good wife and all your children are in good health. We are all pretty well at present. I felt very sorry when I received the paper about my Uncle James (James Wark died 1907, Manitoba, Canada) death. I just got a letter a few days ago from the old country from Mr. MacDonnel. He told me that Solomon Moore's John was alive yet and could walk around , he is 98 years old, he is a first cousin of you fathers, so I thought that I would have the pleasure of letting your father know that he had a cousin alive and well in the old country. Older than himself, but god had ordered it different . I hope that Fred Wark and his wife & family are all well. Your father was born in the County of Donegal in a little Scotch settlement in a place called Mount Argus, they were all Presbyterians, but he was reared in the County of Derry in a place that they call the Lough Side ( I think this should be Foyle) or Myroe. He served his time in Newton, Limavady, that is where I came from and there is nine Presbyterian churches in the Presbytery of Limavady and one of the old Scotch Covenanting churches. Where your father was born he had cousins the name of Brown, Little and Allinson and his Uncle John Warks family his brothers people all lived in my Myroe, they were all Presbyterian, so he must joined the Methodist since he came to Canada.

If anything sounds familiar I would like to hear from you.
Thanks, Cheryl Wark

Are you still compiling Wark history? My fifth Great Grandmother is Janet Wark, christened 1718, Old Monkland, Lanark, Scotland, father listed as John Wark.

She married Richard Tennant, born 1712 Glascow, Lanark, Scotland. They had ten or eleven children many who died in infancy. I had a list of them but it has gone astray (before I could save it to a digital format) Richard was part of General Wolfe's army that fought the Battle of Quebec. Richard died on the Plains of Abraham, 13 Sep 1759

Anyone who has more info please contact me.

There are Warks that settled in the Ottawa Valley (Renfrew) coming from Ireland in the 1800's. My family is descended from Claude Wark, son of John Wark. I believe this must be a different branch of the family? We had a family reunion this summer (2008) in Lanark County.
