4	Interview of John Francis Leckie, 28 Nov 2013; interview by Elizabeth Wilson Williams and David John Leckie. Margaret Mary Clark went by "Peggy". She was born in the Maywood, IL hospital. She died in 1999. Her parents were Margaret Mary Inglesby, whose ancestry was Irish and some Norwegian; and Francis Clark, middle initial possibly F. They resided on Crawford Ave. in Chicago. Margaret Mary Clark's sister married an O'Neal. Leckies and O'Neals were from Northern Ireland (Protestant), and earlier from northern Scotland, and area called "no man's land" just south of Glasgow, isolated and poor.
5	Denholm Research Packet from John F. Leckie, Nov. 2013. Della Pierce Clark b. County Clare, Ireland 22 April 1865, came to US at age 16 and married at age 20. PArents were GArret Pierce and Ellen Culligan Pierce, Garret was a merchant marine sailor and was in Chicago at the time of the great fire. He was registered in a hotel and apparently died in the fire. Source notes Per John F. Leckie, his sister Margaret (or maybe Pat) Leckie has a more complete record of Leckie & Clark families.
