There was a Sidney Clack who was born in Devizes, Wilts. on 11 May 1849. He had worked as a gardener for botanical painter Marianne North's father. On North's death, Clack left England for the U.S. on 3 May 1870 and settled at Orange, New Jersey where he continued to work as a gardener on a private estate. Sometime between 1881 and 1883 he moved to New York state, and in 1886 he was in Chicago, where he became known as an expert on roses. By 1888 he had moved to California and worked on the S.F. Peninsula (Redwood City) growing flowers for the cut flower market.
He removed to Monterey in 1890 for a few years where he was supt. of grounds at the Hotel del Monte, but eventually returned to the S.F. Peninsula where he continued to grow flowers for the market, except for a brief period when he worked in Oregon building greenhouses. His operation at Menlo Park was quite a large one. He employed a total of 25 people on the place in 1900. In 1920, at the age of 70, he was working as head gardener for a hospital in Menlo Park, California, but by 1924 he had retired and moved across the Bay to Alameda, California. He was still alive and living there as late as 1936 at age 86. I have not yet found any record of his death. In the 1900 census, his wife's name was Sarah and they had seven children: Edith, Emily, George Sidney, Rosetta, Theodore A., Cecilia and Leonard.
In 1924 Clack applied for a passport to return to England and France for a visit and there is a photograph attached on the second page of that document.

Hello Lee. I'm afraid that mine is a different family.
As for the family photos you seek, it seems obvious but you'll only find them on the internet if someone else has posted them. Best keep asking family members if they have any.

Im looking for photographs of my grandmother and her relatives, nan was born Lily may clack, to rose clack and edwin barnes in croydon, rose clack's family go back to cratfield in suffolk, and i find it incredible that far a family to live so long in cratfield that i cant seem to find any photographs of them on the internet.
im looking for photo's of lily may clack, rose clack, alderman clack, william clack, henry clack and their respective wives.
i know its a long shot and probably unlikely, but i hope some of you good people can shed light on this or maybe have any?
