Looking for info on:
Robert Clarke born about 1818 in Canada West (ethnic background on census was German/Dutch) and Mary Ann Duffy (born Ireland about 1827) married in Kingston, Ontario, 15 July 1845. Had children William John and twin Robert, Margaret Jane, Mary Ann, Matilda, Mathew James, Robert James, Elizabeth, Ellen and Francis Henry. They lived in Pittsburgh Township just east of Kingston. The 'e' was dropped from Clarke by some of these children. Although Mary Ann was Roman Catholic, Robert and the children were listed as Church of England and marriages/baptisms were at St Mark's Anglican Church in Barriefield or St. George's Anglican Cathedral in Kingston.

I am looking for any descendents of Gerald Clarke, my great uncle. He was born in London, either in 1917 or 1918. His parents were Irish - John Andrew Clarke and Mary Fitzgerald. He served in WWII in the SAS, but after the war lost contact with the family. Does anyone have any information?

Clearly, a different family from mine. Thanks for
I don't know if there was a James in my Clarke family; the only names I have are William, John, Andrew, George, David, Elizabeth and Sarah -- but there were certainly a few more that I'm missing. Most of them arrived in Canada in 1846; two or three went ahead two or three years earlier.

Good Morning:
My name is Allen Clark, Feom Gananoque,Ontario
My usernames is Feeduff
My e-mail Address is: allen.clark88(a)gmail.com
There were two James Clarkes in Cavan Townships , There were probably more James Clarkes , but lets just look at these two for now...
The James Clarke you are looking for came from Cavan County. I have a picture of his tomb stone,
My James Clarke came from County Armagh in 1833, they also liived in Cavan Township.
Now let me take a step backward.
My Clarke Family (John & Mary) came from County Armagh in 1833 with 3 or 4 children, James Clarke, William, E.Clarke (My G.G. Grandfather) and 1or 2 daughters.
Mary was pregnant and had twins born at sea.... One livs, and one died.
It was the living son who was named Daniel Marron Clark, who became the Shomaker in Cavan Township in Ontario... By rhe way his father John was a Shoemaker in Ireland..
In 1833 when my Clarke Family came to Canada there was a Colera Epidemic in Quebec City, so the ship's captain or in this case the ship's Master took the Ship to an American Port.. People have said it was probably New York, but I have never been able to prove it
I hope you understannd what i am trying to say.

Hi
I am new to the list.
It's been a challenge the last 30+ years as my Mom began about 1970 long before internet. Sadly she passed away before I got the internet in 1997
she dealt with writing letters to Ottawa, paying a fee, waiting forever and hoping that a 'shot in the dark' might find something.
Often what she found was misleading due to mistakes on the earlier Census records 1861 or 1871...ages were always interesting women getting younger and young men often gaining more than 10 years between census records LOL
*****
I originally believed my Charlotte H. Clarke to be born in 1825 from two census records and that worked for being Charlotte Clarke daughter of Hezekiah Clarke and Rachel Ferguson? Who later married a Short.
But from her death record and from her 1901 Census we now have her birthday as Oct 1822
SOMEONE in about 1999 just before my first computer crashed asked me if my Charolette was born in 1822 as if so she connected to her Clarks. Inexperienced as I was I thanked them and said no, she was born in 1825 and was the daughter of ... EEK.
SO ANYONE OUT THERE that has ever come across a Charlotte Clark(e) born in 1822? Census records say she was born in Ontario, Canada but I have an ancestor born in Maryland USA and all but one states Ontario, and the other states Ireland. LOL
I have clarke, Jones, Smith, Brown, and McMahon in Ireland so I'd love a break on my Clark Line.
Charlotte's LAST NAME is most often spelled CLARKE IF that helps to narrow things down I don't know.
*****
Thank you for your time.
Joy

Hello,
The story of my grandmother's childhood is long and complicated. I've
probably summarized it on this List before. Something new which has
happened is that my "distant cousin" in CT has received some "old photos" in
the mail, and we are more convinced then ever that the Adoptive parents of
my grandmother - were her grandparents. The mother of the Adoptive
mother was Mrs. Rhoda (MANCHESTER) (LAVARE) CLARK (1800-1883?), always in
Westport, MA. We now have a picture of her, and of the adoptive mother,
Mrs. Mary (CLARK) DEXTER. She and her husband changed the little girl's
name to Mary Anna Clark DEXTER in 1892.
After having been orphaned, possibly 2 or 3 times, my grandmother left "The
Temporary Home" in Boston, MA, at around Age 19-20. She went to live with
her girlfriend's family and met - the boy next door. They married on
Christmas Eve, 1911 (MA). On the marriage certificate she stated that
her birth-father was William CLARK (CLARKE?).
We have no idea who this man was. What happened is that Rhoda, back in
Westport, MA, lost her first husband "to the sea." In 1829 she remarried
to James CLARK and had a daughter, Mary Anna, with him in 1836. But,
during the 1840's he "disappeared." James is one of my "concrete block
walls." We have no way of knowing which family he came from - or where
he came from. I have a "hunch" that the young, Mary, knew some CLARK
families either in MA or CT while she was growing up, and possibly after she
married.
John and Mary DEXTER had lived in Killingly, CT, and left there ~1885 to
move to Melrose, MA. It was their they adopted the little girl.
Mary died in 1899 and John in 1905, so supposedly my grandmother didn't have
connections to their relatives after 1900. She had been taken to an
orphanage in 1899 at Age 10. So, would a man, named William CLARK, have
kept in contact with her? Or, had my grandmother been told some of the
names of the relatives and she remembered some of the names?
Betty (near Lowell, MA)

I'm trying to trace the details of the parents of the above who was born in Lympston(e) in Devon and went on to be surgeon major in the British Army (Royal Army Medical Corps). He married Janet Annie Parr in 1869 in Preston and had one son, John Louis Justice Clarke, who was Brigadier General of the 1st Btn. East Yorkshire Regiment.
I have traced Janet's family back, but now need information on Alfred's. Other information is that he was educated at the Grammar School in Appleby Magna and trained as an MD at Manchester Royal Infirmary.
All information gratefully accepted!!... Ell :o)

I have just been given some Information regarding my GG/GrandMother Mary Clarke b.1832 Manchester, England.
She had a brother named William Clark b.unknown.
This is the Info I was given: Mary & William Clark were raised by the 14th Earl of Derby, after their parents (James Clarke & Frances "Fanny" Clarke nee Grime b.1810), died whilst they were young; William expressed a desire to become a minister, the Earl sent him to Didsbury Theological College to be Trained & when he was Ordained, he then moved to Canada & never returned to England.
Can anyone confirm this story? My Mother used to always tell me that her G/GrandMother Mary Clarke was a maid to Queen Victoria! Can this be confirmed?
I would like to know details of James & Frances's Parents aswell..
Appreciate any help, Thankyou Anthony Childs
