Okay Blue, that looks very much like what I would have to do. That William must be the one as the odds of another Clark having a son the same time must be big.

Mum might get back to me with more info yet.

Thanks for all your efforts Blue, much appreciated.

Hi Blue, and thanks for the info.

I'm not sure where he was evacuated to but the rest of the family were not evacuated to Wales. Much to my mums dismay (Williams younger sister) as she would have loved to have been evacuated there. Instead she was evacuated to a more rural part of England.

It is all very sketchy as with the rest of my investigations. Mum said he was very active and threatened to make his way to Wales on a couple of occasions. Mum reckons he did leave eventually and go to Wales, said he worked on a farm, got married and had children. She was also sure he was now dead. Other than that, and his possible DOB that you found, I don't have much more.

I live a few miles down the road from Bangor so I wonder if there is a burial site for him at the local big cemetery? Even a walk around there looking at 1995 headstones might bring something up, born in Liverpool perhaps? Cousins just down the road from me would be strange!

But the DOB's are not promising are they, only the Hull chap get's close.

Many thanks again.

Hi Blue, if either were born in L'pool that would seal it.

A year early birth date wouldn't bother me too much as the baptism could be a year later I suppose?

I wouldn't know how to look for N.Wales obituaries.

Thanks, tried the free site and it appears William was baptised Sept 1933. His mum and dad were married 1929 so that ties in nicely. That gives me something to go on.

Yes thanks, they are my grandparents.

It is William I am interested in. I was aware he was dead and I'm trying to find out where he went after leaving Liverpool. As far as I'm aware he went farming to Wales.
