Joseph Clarke, Queensland, Australia
by sdpendell:First sdpendell:Last
I am trying to locate Joseph Clarke. He married Maria Theresa Mannion in Gympie, Queensland on 1 January, 1897. He died in Mt Morgan, Queensland on 26 October, 1925 aged 59 years. He and Maria had eight children: James Howard, Joseph Harold, John Considine, William Herbert, Mary, Bridget Irene (my grandmother), Margaret and Henry Michael. The birth certificate of Bridget states that Joseph was born in Brisbane but he is not listed on Qld birth records. My grandmother always spoke of her father being Irish however I have nothing to confirm that except that they were Catholic.
I believe Joseph's mother's name was Mary and that she lived in Gympie.
Not much, but if anyone has any information on this branch of the Clarke family, I would appreciate it.
