Clarke

[Artemis1]

Looking for George Tandy Clarke who married Mary Martin. Lived Lisburn/Belfast.
Some of their children were:

Thomas Clarke born 1826-1830 who married Sarah Walker daughter of James and Elizabeth Walker. James was a publican. With children Mary Jane, Thomas, James, Martha, Alexander (died in Ireland), Sarah, Rosetta the family emigrated to NZ in 1865. Lucinda was born in NZ.

Thomas' sister Martha came with them born about 1837 and married John Lambert in NZ.

James Clarke born abt 1835 who married Margaret Ann Hanna Dec 1860 Rosemary Street, Belfast. Possibly came to NZ in 1863?

George Henry Clarke also came to NZ, master mariner who died when his ketch sank. His wife Jane was buried in James Clarke's family plot. Relationship unconfirmed.

I have spotted a Tandy Clarke who married an Eliabeth Welsh 1861 Knockbreda, County Down and have wondered if there is a connection.

Hiya Artemis,

I'm inclined to think there is a connection between the George Tandy Clarke you are seeking and the Tandy Clarke who married at Knockbreda. I looked at Griffith's Valuation Co. Antrim 1861-2 and Irish Ancestors Surname Search [/s]and spotted only the one Tandy in Belfast (twenty odd years after George married Mary Martin)...
Mary Tandy, Cromac Townparks, Market Street, Shankill. Antrim

You need a marriage of a Tandy to a Clarke. At the time of the Valuations there were Tandys and Clarkes at the same time in seven parishes throughout Ireland .. Belfast city, Cork city, Dublin, Dublin city, Galway, Meath and Waterford  If you have some luck you should find that marriage in one of those areas.

Artemis,

There may not have been a Clarke - Tandy marriage. Maybe George and the other guy were named after Napper Tandy I spotted a Clarke - Tandy marriage but the poster has omitted to give details of where the marriages took place.
