Title: Hector Clacher - where did he die and get buried Essex or Detroit?
Post by: NDRFT on Thursday 27 August 20 10:18 BST (UK)

Hi Everyone
Mods - can you link this to Essex and maybe USA/Michigan please where we know this man had links.

Essentially I am looking for his death /burial / re marriage - anything but he is so elusive after 1932. There are 2 CLACHER families from Dunbartonshire and so I shall list what we know, which I hope may help one of you good folk help me find out what happened to Hector.
We think in or after 1932 he may have returned to the USA without his wife and family?

B - 19 Jan 1898 Dumbarton
1901 - 10 Rochead Place, Dumbarton with parents
4 June 1918 - RAF
10 Oct 1921 m - Dumbarton to Catherine CAMPBELL
1922 - Dumbarton - daughter Bernadette Maria CLACHER born
11 Aug 1922 Departs Glasgow for USA
19 Aug 1922 Arrives Canada
21 Aug 1922 Arrives Michigan USA
16 Mar 1923 wife and daughter depart Glasgow for Canada en route to Detroit
1924 Detroit - daughter Catherine Campbell CLACHER born
1927 Detroit daughter Gloria Ann CLACHER (aka Annie) born
1928 Detroit son James Paul CLACHER (aka Sonny) born
2 Oct 1930 Departs Montreal
10 Oct 1930 Arrives Liverpool
1932 Dumbarton son Daniel Campbell CLACHER born

then nothing

1939 - registers show wife (married) and 4 children in Hornchurch, Essex - No Hector

Hector did work for the Ford Motor Company in Detroit and possibly in Essex.

Thanks for taking a read

Were his parents called James and Ann?

I put this on the Essex board myself because  such are the connections for this man to Dumbarton, Essex and the USA I asked for a Moderator to link my initial thread to the Essex and USA boards and that never happened.

There is a very good chance that the others who responded to your other post looked outside the area you were suggesting, I certainly did.   :)
