Hi,
This is my first posting to the list.
I am helping a friend with her family and she is related to the Seedhill
Clarkes.
Are there descendants on the list who would like to get in contact with me
so we find our roots?
Many thanks.
Michele in Sydney Australia

Hi Marianne
I sent you an e-mail today after finding some basic info about your Diana Lawton thru genealogy.com. I decided to check ancestry to see if you were there and found this - WOW!!!!
We are DEFINITELY RELATED! You have so much information - how long have you been gathering all this???
My great grandmother was Alice Neil (nee Clark(e)) who was born in 1847 to Dianna Lawton and Peter Clark(e). She married William Neil (no date) and they had 7 children who were:
Amie (1873), Harry (1876), Bertha (1878), William (1880), Leonard (1883), Alice (1887) and Mildred (1890). I have quite a lot of info on these aunts and uncles and have got a bit of a memoir written if you would like a copy.
Alice Neil (Clark(e)) died in Deva Hospital in Chester in 1897 - it was the psychiatric hospital of the time. She is buried in Flaybrick Hill Cemetary, Tollemache Rd, Claughton, Birkenhead.
Can you let me know you direct line back to Dianna. I am sure too that my Mum would love to contact you if you were agreeable, so if you have some direct contact details that would be fantastic.
Do you know any other info regarding Diana Lawton's parents? I noted your e-mails to Brenda on genealogy.com - did that bear any fruit?
I am in New Zealand now, but Mum is still on the Wirral. Please please please contact me I would love to catch up with a new cousin!

Seeking information on John CLARKE born abt 1509 Westhorpe,
Suffolk Co, England, probably son of John CLARKE. He married
before 1534 a Margaret (surname name not known.) He died abt
1559 Finningham, Suffolk Co, England.
If anyone has information on these families and willing to share,
I sure would appreciate it.

Hi Natalie
I found your name on a Rootsweb message board and you stated that your great great grandparents were Isabella CLARKE & James SPROULE, who married Killeter 4 Dec 1849.
You mention that Isabella's father was Charles CLARKE.
I'm not sure how much more you know about the above families 5 yrs on, but I'm interested in exchanging information with you.
My CLARKE family also came from Killeter, Co Tyrone.
I have found them in the records of the Parish of Termonamongan.
They lived in the Townland of Gortnagross.
My earliest known CLARKE ancestors were Matthew CLARKE (1798-1868) who married Sarah McFARLAND (1808-1860)
Four of their children came to New Zealand in the 1860's.
My CLARKE's always said that they had connections with CLARKE's Oat & Flour Mill in Killeter and this was owned by a Charles CLARKE at one stage.
I am very interested to find out if our CLARKE families are connected in some way. I have been told that the SPROULE family also had some connection with our CLARKE's but I have been unable to find this.
None of my CLARKE's came directly to NZ but all came via Australia which makes me think they may have had relatives there, possibly in Melbourne.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Karen Rusbatch (nee CLARKE)
I am researching a CLARKE family in the Baltimore area in the first
half of the 1800's. My Robert Clarke lived in Baltimore, was born in
Maryland in 1829 and his parents (according to the census) were born
in Washington D.C. I haven't been able to find his parents' names,
but if you see any connection, would like to hear more.

In 1860 Kinsley Stofiel and his wife Esther lived in Tecumseh, Jefferson, Ks. They and their 4 children were neighbors of John D. and Martha Hinson Jones. John D. was killed by Quantrills Raiders in 1863. I do not know what happened to Esther Stofiel. She married young and had several children. Or she may have been killed in the violence of 1860's Kansas. Kinsley married Martha in 1864 in Tecumseh. In addition to his 4 and her 8 children they had 2 more. Those children were Albert M. Stofiel and Sarah Esther Stofiel. Sarah E. "Sadie" married Jordan Trueblood 4/4/1886 in Grantville, Jefferson Co. Ks. They moved to Woodward, Oklahoma and had no children. Sadie lived to 90 years of Age. Albert M. Stofiel(1872- ?) married Anna May Stapleton (1875-1977). They had 5 children that I know of; Edward, Robert, Myrtle, Oscar & Hargil. I have not researched all of the children yet, but do have census info on Edward Stofiel. He married Effie and they had 7 children that I kno!
w of; Clarence, Dorothy, Howard, Florence, William, Edward & Laura. My connection is through Martha Hinson. She was my husbands gggrandmother through her son Charles Allen Jones by her 1st husband John D. Jones. The 1/2 brothers and sisters were pretty close growing up. I do not know why Albert went west. Sadie wrote letters to her 1/2 brothers family often. I have many letters from Sadie to Charles Allen Jones' son Eddie and grandaughter Bessie. My husbands family still has land in Jefferson County, Ks.

I have an Ulster Genealogical & Historical Guild booklet which was published in 1979 which is surplus to requirement and which I am selling on ebay - item number 190069567939 with a search title as follows "Ulster Genealgical Historical Guild Emigrant Shankill"
There is a great article on the former Shankill Road Cemetry which has long been levelled. The article lists many Ulster family names and the item is worth looking at even if only for this article.
The book also gives an insight to the McCorkell shipping company, the ships crew and rations. Furthermore there is an extract from the McCorkell order book of William McCorkell for passengers to America.

Wish I could be more helpful. Everyone, except John J. Barrett, was born in England. John was born in RI, around 1927, and I don't see any evidence of him after that. There was someone with that name living in Warwick, RI through 2002, but it was a phone record, without dates given.
It's also likely that Elizabeth was related to Harriet, which means her maiden name was neither Barrett nor Molyneux. If you happen to know more about Harriet, perhaps you'll find a clue there.
I do not have access to records in England. Sorry.

Thanks for answering so quick.
I think that could be a match as she was born abt 1901 and on the passenger list (the transcribed version) it show "friends name" Molyneux.
I don't know if what this means whetehr it means she was going to stay with someone of that name or not.
It does stack in as she had an elder sister Harriett. I don't suppose by any chane you can trace the marriage detaisl for her??
Thanks

This is a long shot, but it might make sense. Joseph and Harriet Molyneux lived in RI, and in the 1930 census, they had a sister-in-law, Elizabeth Barrett and her son, John J. Barrett (b. 1927) living with them. Joseph and Elizabeth were both born in England. Joseph appears to be from Wigan, born 3 Dec 1886. Elizabeth was born about 1901. Could that be a match?
