John Clarke - Alexander Street, Gracehill County Antrim

[genewizard]

Hi I'm hoping someone can help I am looking for any information on John Clarke and his Father Samuel, what would be good is date of birth, date of death, mothers name and siblings, what I know is that John Clarke was born C 1892 in Ballymena, I have found John's military records on ancestry and it gives his fathers name as Samuel the same as his marriage cert, Samuel died between 1914 and febuary 1918 but I have been unable to find any trace. The address of Samuel as Johns next of kin is giving as Alexander Street, Gracehill, the next of kin then transfers to Rebecca (john's wife) who also lives at Alexandra Street.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is quickly becoming a brickwall as I am unable to travel to Ireland and funds are limited, I also know John died before 1947 and his wife Rebecca was still alive and living in Alexandra St, maybe someone could do a look up of electrol registers for me.
Many thanks Genewizard
