Hi Ernie,
The timing is off, so this is just an FYI for you.
Between ~1790 and ~1800, a James CLARK/E was born - somewhere. In the
1820's he was in Little Compton, RI, USA, and in 1829 in nearby Westport,
MA, USA, he married a widow of Westport. They had a daughter in 1836 in
Westport, but by the 1850 census he was not living with his family.
Westport does not have a record of a death for him.
Another researcher found out from the New Bedford, MA, USA, Library that a
James CLARK/E got on a ship in 1845 as a greenhand. The ship was heading
out for a 4-year voyage to the Indian Ocean. This James "deserted ship"
in NSW, Australia. (~1846? ~1847?)
I have no way of knowing whether that James CLARK/E is the James from
Westport, MA, but New Bedford is only a few miles from Westport. And, it
would be one way to "disappear."

Clarke, William
I am researching my son-in-law family and am looking for a William Clarke
born in 1831 at Cargo, New South Wales, Australia and died in 1912.
William married in 1880 to an Isabella Beverley Wilson born about 1833 in
England and they had at least one child Isabella Wilson Clarke born 1882 in
Limestone Stables, New South Wales, Australia.
Isabella Wilson Clarke married in 1903 to George Henry Saxby and had at
least 13 children. William H, William G, Charles, Henry, Lesley, Myrtle,
Frederick, Joseph, John,Elsie, george H, Florence and Kenneth all born in
New South Wales, Australia.
Do you recognise any of this family?
Regards

Hello List,
I¹m new to this list, hoping to connect with anyone researching my
particular branch of the Clark/e family. My grandmother was Lilian Clarke,
who married Nelson Perryman in Fulham, London, in 1915.
Her siblings were Evelyn Clarke (b. 1890, Chelsea), Herbert V. Clarke (b.
1888, Chelsea), Frank E. Clarke (b. 1884, Chelsea, married Dulce), Jessie
Clarke (b. 1882, Chelsea, married Hedley Osborn Steward in 1907), Percy L.
Clarke (b. 1880, Battersea), Clarence E. Clarke (b. 1877, Chelsea), George
W. Clarke (b. 1875, Salford, Lancs., married Beatrice in 1903), and Nellie
(Eleanor?) Louise Clarke (b. 1873, Chelsea, married Horace Harris Holland in
1898).
Lilian Clarke¹s parents were George Lewis Clarke (b. 1850, Brompton) and
Eleanor Walkley (b. 1849, Chelsea)
George Lewis Clarke (b. 1850, Brompton) was the son of George Clarke (b.
1823/4, Yeovil, Som.) and Elizabeth (Mason?). George Lewis Clarke¹s
siblings were Mary I.(?)Clarke (b. 1854, Chelsea), Emily Clarke (b. 1848,
Chelsea), Phoebe Clarke (b. 1846, Chelsea), William I.(?) Clarke (b. 1844,
Clerkenwell).
George Clarke (b. 1823/4) from Yeovil was the son of Edmund Lewis Clarke and
Phoebe Dowding (b. 1799?, Stalbridge, Wilts). George had a brother John
Clarke (b.1825, Yeovil), and both George and John were cabinet makers who
moved from Yeovil to London, probably around 1840/1. John Clarke married but
had no children that I know of.
George and John Clarke¹s father, Edmund Lewis Clarke, was baptized April 7,
1799, the base born son of Christian Clark, in Donhead St. Mary, Wilts. He
married Phoebe Dowding in Yeovil in 1820 where he worked a a yardman, then a
leather dresser. By the 1841 census he is an innkeeper on Porter¹s Lane,
Yeovil. Edmund and Phoebe moved to London sometime before the 1861 census
and raise their grandchildren after the death of their son George and his
wife Elizabeth in the mid-late 1850s.
There are, of course, several Clark/e families in Yeovil and Donhead St.
Mary around 1800. If anyone is connected with them, I would love to share
further information.

Dear Cas,
Even stranger is that my CALLOWHILL grandparents were from the Hackney area as far back as 1775 with the latest grandparent William born abt 1825 in Hackney. He eventually came to Canada in 1857 and died in 1899. He was a jeweller and watchmaker.
I am trying to link my family back to Callowhill's from Worcester who were famous painters at the Royal Worcester factory. Many family names are the same in both branches, so there should be a very close link. I even had a Callowhill male marrying a Callowhill female. Eventually trying to get back to Hannah Callowhill, second wife of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania. Family "stories" say we are related to her through an uncle of Hannah's but I have not yet found any evidence.
regards,
Anne

thankyou for telling me about CLERKE that is very interesting, and no we haven't diregarded the surname
Clark just that particular one as the middle names dont match up and neither do the parents, but maybe from a different line. There are hundreds and hundreds of Clarkes with or without an e born in Hackney.

Just a thought.
Just because there isn't an 'e' at the end of Clark does not mean that you should throw out this data as irrelvant.
My CLARK line started in England as CLERKE as far back as the 1400s, then in the 1600's as CLARKE and then after the American Revolution, when my ancestors came to Canada, they dropped the 'e' and have been CLARK ever since.
Kindest regards,
Anne Clark-Stewart

Hin LInda,
Its really weird that your grandmothers birth certificate states her surnae as Clarke but in the register it is Clark most peculiar.What my cousin Tina and myself are really trying to find is any one related to our grandfather Charles Frederick Clarke or as Tina's side of the family knew him Frederick Charles Clarke, our Ivy Lapage Clarke was his sister.
So if you know anything about Charles Frederick or Frederick Charles
we would be very grateful
Carole
P.s. did you ever get the e mails I sent to the ems address

Hello again,
I bet if we go back a few generations that we do infact have a common ancester. To much of a coincidence that they are from Hackney and that both families are Clarkes and married into the Fieldhouse family as well.
How far back have you gone with your Clarke family? I have back to the late 1700's. I am thinking that we have common ancester back that far. One think I do know is that my grandmother was listed as a CLARKE on her birth certificate. It says 1899 South East Hackney, in the county of London entry number 304 in the registration book of births number 6.
My Clarkes are listed in the 1880's back or so as CLARK on all the census's that I can find. Back than most were illiterage and spelt things on the fly.
Recently myself and another woman who had been in contact through the board about another line of mine did not think we were related until a shocking and wonderful discovery came to light. We are indeed related through a common ancester born back in 1805. Perhaps that will happen with our two Clarke's.

Go and click the "Family Trees" one and go to the bottom and put any names in you are searching for. It will kick out all possiblities.

I would bet there were several CLARK-CLARKEs in the British Navy or
foot soldiers in the American Colonies during the RW also. Likely some
of my ancestors from Devon & Wiltshire ( not Clark) even shot at or
killed some of my CLARKs!
