Hello, especially to lindynz and the other descendants of Adam and Louisa Clark who have posted.
I'm researching the story of James Clark, 'the pearl king', youngest child of Adam and Louisa. Quite a life, and there's much of interest in archives, old newspapers etc. The great gap is the early years, the dozen or so after the deaths of Adam and Louisa in 1860. James, the youngest of eight children, was just 2. Louisa, the oldest, was 16; intriguingly, she married the day after her mother died.
Would be most grateful for any information about the lives of the young Clarks in those formative years.
Regards,
Bob
