    Annie Emily Elsworth Clark, NZ or UK?

    This individual has me confused and I would like to find her Birth Record. I know she married in 1879 in New Zealand to Robert Hislop Long who was born around 1855 in Glasgow-Barony, Scotland or (unlike his siblings), born in Ireland (FamilySearch quotes some Scotland Censuses). Perhaps Annie...
