Title: Beaumarice Stracey Clarke 1812
Post by: Breezy on Sunday 06 July 14 19:53 BST (UK)
Hello, saw a post from eyesee looking for family. I am! Henry Trevelyn Clarke   1868-1938 son of Edward Daniel Clarke is my great grandfather. Henry came to Canada with his wife. Rosetta C.N. Bodily and children one being my grandmother Muriel Rosemond 1898, married Guy E Smith. her brother Lionel Beaumaurice Clarke was awarded the Victoria Cross. Sept.9 1916. Winnipeg. My father is Jack. I visited Chilham to see Dudley Digges and Mary Kemp memorials at st Marys church. Chilham Chase weekend re-enacted may 19 2013. It was awesome! I am looking for family also. Digges were said to be extinct in 1859. But we are here still descended from Anne Digges (I found her portrait) and Anthony Hammond.

Hi Breezy

I was advised of your trying to contact me. I met your aunt and uncle and some cousins when they came to NZ a few years ago. My great grandfather was Alfred, brother of HT.
