I am trying to find some information and possible relatives of David Sommerville Scott who is listed as having lived in Clare. He was killed in 1944 in action and was my father's lieutenant. His father was a retired colonel and may have been an active member of the village.Is his name on the war memorial? Any help would be gratefully appreciated, thank you.

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: Brent Bowyer, RR2, Wingham, Ontario, Canada.

I googled my great grandfather's name and it showed a message post here from November 6th 2012 from someone sharing the same great grandfather, but when I go to the message board I cannot find it - there is only one message on that date listed and it is not the one pertaining to Arthur William Byford 1877, Clare, Suffolk. Am I missing something? How do I see all the posts from that date?

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.

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!
many thanks

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..? If so please email: familytree@clare-uk.com - Quote Ref: BOLTON

I am looking for information on William Rushin, born 1505 in Clare, Suffolk. He was the father of William Rishton Rushing born 1535 in Clare and died 1570 in Clare (spouse Carrie Humphrey -born 1535 in Clare). I believe the Ancient House Museum genealogy archives only begin in 1550.

Hi Everyone, My Gt Uncle was born in Glemsford in 1883 and died 22/1/1955 at Cavendish RD, Clare. His name was Archibald Cook and we THINK his wife was Eveline Smith born 1881, Glemsford dying about 1950, Newmarket, West Suffolk. I am trying to find out where he/they are buried and if there are still any members of the family around the area that I can get in touch with. They were married in St Marys, Glemsford (if we have the right lady) and we think there may have been two daughters. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Aussie.

Hello, Just stumbled on this noticeboard whilst researching Clare & wondered if anyone would recognise the surname PETTIT or know anything about the history of CABINET MAKERS in the area. I have been researching my family history & (with the help of the Bury Records Office) have got back to my grt.grt.grt.grandfather Walter who was baptised in Clare with his brother Richard in the early 1800s; their father, Nathaniel, married to Mary (poss Bowley) was a cabinet maker. Any comments much appreciated. Rosie

ABRAHAM WALLETT vicar at CLARE died December 1790. Am totally stuck with his birthdate. Am hoping someone would be able to check the church to see if there is any kind of memorial giving an age or clue?? He married Mary MUMBY and had several children, 5 survived to adulthood. I think Abraham may have originally come from Long Sutton, Lincolnshire, thanks so much fingers crossed! Hilary

Hi my name is Ken Barker and I am trying to trace information about my mother's side of the family. My late mother Olive Barker ( nee Mizen ) was I believe born at Bench Barn Farm as was her sister Gwen Mizen. They lived there for a number of years in the 1920s with their parents Oliver Mizen and Dorothy Mizen, before Olive and Gwen were sent to Coventry to work in the munitions factories during the second world war. Any information would be gratefully received.

Peter Mortlock gives his pob as Clare in the 1911 census. In an earlier census it is 'Long Garden'. Does/did this relate to anywhere local?

Hello Graham (New Zealand)... In passing, I noticed in your posting (7/07/11) you suggest..."...Mary Pinchback etc married at Bradfield street church clare etc etc" However you may not be aware that there is a village called "Bradfield Saint(St)Clare".. which is about 12 miles from CLARE itself,so your search may be more centred at that location inc its church!! Hope this might prove useful!

After living in the U.K.for almost 12 years, I return to the U.S. to find that much of my ancestry came from Clare and Aylesbury. I used to go to Lavenham regularly for weekend trips. After doing extensive research, I have traced my ancestry to William R Rushing(born 1535) married to Carrie Humphrey born around the same year. Any information about this family before that date would be deeply appreciated. Any more significant/ more current info. about the Rushing family (possibly spelled Rushen/Rushin) would also be appreciated. Cheerio
