Hi Michael,
I have no idea where he was born.  Some family say Byker others say Blyth but i know he worked Ashington and cycled there.  That is where he met my gran.  His half brother was a Mullen think it was Robert who married my grans sister.

I am getting totaly confused as there are so many on grandmothers side its taking me ages to decipher who's who.
Regards

Hi Jac

Having looked at a map, I think that cycling from Byker to Ashington and back on a daily basis with a shift at the pit in between would have been too much for anyone, no matter how fit. Blyth is certainly more realistic.

Maybe he just cycled there to meet her I don't really know.  He had a sister called Chrissie and a half brother we think called Robert Mullen.
Thanks

Jac,

 I can see no good candidate for the birth registration of a William Smith Clark circa 1908 in Northumberland or Durham.? Can you ?

Have you any idea where the "maybe" siblings were born ?

 Because of the dispute concerning his father's name, I have had a hunch that perhaps his birth surname was NOT Clark ?
