NOTE: By two deed polls dated 19th. November 1894 and 9th. December, 1898, all the sons of William Penrose Mark and Helen Elizabeth Mark, changed their surname of Mark, first to Mark-Wardlaw, and then to Wardlaw, this name being their original surname. Their grandfather William Mark adopted the name of Mark, his true name being Winlaw. His forefathers some generations back (by the registers at Dirleton Co. North Berwick N.B.) held the name of Winlaw, which name has been pronounced by experts to be a corruption of the name Wardlaw, the name of a family driven up North at the time of the Norman Conquest, who set in that part of Scotland.
