I am researching my uncle Eli Read born 1878 in Stoke by Clare, son of George & Susannah Reade. I cannot find any record of him after the 1910 census. I would be most grateful to receive any information on Eli or information regarding the Read/Reade families of Chapel Street, Stoke by Clare

I'm researching the family of my 8th Great Grandfather John Martin who married Mary Barker in Clare 1671. They had two children, John & Mary. John married [1st] Mary Perry on 3rd May 1693 and [2nd] Elizabeth Jay on 27th Jan 1706. Between them they had ten children, many of whom survived in adulthood and had families of their own in Clare. I'm particularly interested in Thomas Martin [1718 -1782] who was born in Clare and married Elizabeth Deeks of Belchamp St Paul on 15th Feb 1743.

Hi everyone, message for Jivexx (and anyone else who may be able to help or is interested) I'm researching family name Hickford and am fairly confident that I've traced back to William Hickford 1801 - 1872 from Chapel Road / Chapel Street Clare who married Mary ? born about 1802, my GGGG grandfather. Son Benjamin (died young) (1827-1855) who married Emma Woolard (1827 - 1880), son Walter 1851 - ? who married Emma, had a son Walter (1878-1910) who married Janet Mary Beck (b 1876 - ?) to my grandfather Edward Walter (1898 - 1955) who married Georgina Grace Wickham (1900 - 1976).
I've yet to visit Clare to check parish records but from census returns it seems that in the early 19th century Clare was a hot spot for Hickfords who were invariably agricultural labourers with huge families.
If anyone can shed any detail on the Hickford tribe and especially if you can help me go back any earlier than 1800 I'd be very grateful. I will make a point of visiting the village and surrounds soon especially as the 19th century houses all seem to still be there (from a virtual drive through on Google Earth).
I'm happy to share what I have with anyone who needs it

I just came across this sight. I have been researching my Clare line for 25 years. Most of them stayed in the London/Reading area. My 7G.Grandfather was Samuel Clare who married a Mary before 1751 in London. They had a son Samuel Clare who married Sarah Baker and had the following Children. Edward(my line) who married Sarah Winnington first, then Elizabeth Olding. Edward and family sailed to Montreal in 1833. Second Child of Samuel and Sarah (Baker) Clare, was James Clare who married Henrietta Bordier. James and Henrietta had several children, Stephen Bordier Clare, James Clare, Samuel Clare, Henrietta Hester Clare ( who married John Morgan) and Charles Clare. I have pretty good knowledge of these peopls with sources if you think you may be related to them. If you have anything you would like to share, I am all ears and I will return the favor.

I believe my greatgrandmother, Annie Campkin Drake, was in service in or around Clare. There she met and married Frederick James Mappledoram who was a groom. I know Annie's father, William Drake worked for the railway and the family lived in the Gatekeepers House in Ashen Lane. I have in the past located Annies grave in Clare. I would be pleased to learn where they may have worked and met. I remember being told of the name Lady Pennent or Tennett. many thanks

I am seeking any information relating to my paternal Grandparents. Does anybody know the name of Harry Rowling? We understand from records we have found so far he was born in Clare Suffolk c 1850-1854.

We also think he may have married a local lady but we only have the name of Mary. At some time during there marriage moved to Middlesborough in North Yorkshire where they lived till their death.

Any help would be invaluable to us and much appreciated.

BOWYER family history. I am republishing my 418 page book of 1995: The Stradishall Bowyers - 500 Years, and also a sequel that will be about 175 pages with new branches added in and updates to those previously known. If you have Bowyer ancestors that came from East Anglia, they are most likely in this book. It traces the family back to William & Maude Bowyer at Withersfield and Stradishall, with a branch at Clare already in the early 1600s. Projected date of publication is March 2013. If you would like a copy or would like your own Bowyer ancestors and descendants included in the sequel, please email me at bandcbowyer@hotmail.com or write:

I am a descendent of the Jarvis family which lived in Clare and Ovington. I am looking for information about Daniel Jarvis born abt 1806 at Ovington. He married Mary (Surname unknown) and they had Thomas 1826, Newton 1831 & Simeon 1835 all seemingly born at Belchamp St Paul and then David 1837 (Clare), Ketturah 1839 (Clare), Rachel & Leah twins 1842 (Clare), Ebenezer 1844 (Clare), Eliza 1847 (Clare) and Joseph 1848 (Clare). Mary subsequently died in 1853 and Daniel remarried Charlotte Bruty in 1855 and had George abt 1857 (Clare) and Emma 1858 (Clare). Daniel died in 1873 and his death wa registered at Risbridge. I would appreciate any connections to this family and am willing to share information.

Folkestone, United KingdomPosted by Elaine at 4:42PM on 6th November, 2012. (81.96.xxx.xxx)

My third great grandmother was Eliza Robinson, born in Clare in 1816. She married Joseph Edwards in 1844 and I hold the marriage certificate. Their son was George Robinson Edwards. However, the confusion begins in that there is also a record for the same Joseph Edwards remarrying in 1867 to another Eliza Robinson of Clare! This one was born in 1834, 18 years after the first one, and they went on to have a large family over many years. The marriage certificate of Eliza Robinson born 1816 states Thomas Robinson, glazier, as her father and Eliza Robinson born 1834 states Charles Robinson, Plumber (and her christening record just gives a mother, Matilda). I would love to unravel the mystery of the two Elizas and be able to trace their families. I would be grateful for any help or advice, many thanks.

I am researching my birth family and have found that my mother's family the "Ellinghams" have lived in Clare since 1816. My mother's name was Freda Jean 1922-1994 her father was Frederick Ellingham 1901-1973 who was married to Elsie Rose Mayes. Does anyone remember them? Do any Ellinghams still live in Clare? I would appreciate any information that anyone might have that would help me understand a bit more about my roots!

Hi
Can anyone help, I have obtained a marriage certificate for my gg grandfather married in Clare Suffolk, however the Church in which they marrried I am having trouble finding. On the cert it looks like St Barnas (could be barnabus not very clear) in the parish of Clare in the county of Suffolk, the family were from the Risbridge/Clare area in all the censuses, but I can't seem to find a church in the locality of that name. I assume the parishes changed at some point. Can anyone help please

Hi, my name is Christine Bolton

I've just discovered this marvellous message board and thought that somebody out there may be able to help me. My great, great, great Grandmother was Mary Meers (Mears) born 1797 in Stoke by Clare. She married John Orris in 1791 in Hundon, I have no idea where she lived in Clare or much about her family, but do know that her son also John Orriss, born 1819 in Hundon worked on Eagles Farm in Stoke by Clare. I'd love to hear from anybody who has a connection to either the Meers family or the Orris family of Hundon.

Can you help..?
