Clarke

Post by flipflop »

Here goes. Any help welcome.

From documents I found in 2006 (put it to bed because I got stuck)!

Parish Handsworth
Ralph Clarke on 1901 census 4 yrs old -
His mother Jane 44 - i believe was a schoolmisttress
His father is Charles Clarke age 45 (b Glos) (timber merchant manager)I have his batism cert for 1855 - father Charles mother Hannah (Glos)

One record shows Charles' birthplace as Northleach Glos

I've have just rec'd a wedding cert for 1881 for Jane Cotrell (father Thomas - labourer) Charles' father was listed as Charles (boat builder) from the GRO but I think I may have gone wrong because my elderly mother has no recollection of a boat builder and thought her grt grandad was a farmer in the Cotswolds?

Is it best to follow my mother's memories or try and stick to records? :roll:
