CLARK family Hertfordshire
« on: Tuesday 12 August 14 09:25 BST (UK) »
My mum found an old family bible with births deaths and marriages written in the front of her mums mums family. They were called Clark and lived in Hertfordshire, I think in the Ware area and they were shoemakers it is belived. the information goes back to 1848 but try as I might I can't find any matches I could say definitely are correct, can anyone help?
here is what I have
Henry Clark born 3.10.1848 married Mary Jane Barker (born 28.10.1848) on 6.11.1873
they had three children, Harry John born 27.11.1873, Walter george born 25.1.1878 and died 29.5.1958 and Annie Elizabeth born 6.6.1881 she marries Joseph Bird, they had two children a son who died as a teenager and my gran Florence born 1.10, not sure of year, possibly 1915 she married Alfred Herbert Burgess (born 26.04.1913) in South Mimms and had four children, Olive Margaret, Thomas, John and Robert
I'd like to find the parents of Henry Clark and any other family
thanks all
Farrell, Hands, Marchant, Burgess, Bird, Clark

1891

Henry 42 married bootmaker
Harry J 16
Ernest J 15
Walter G 13
Frederick A 7

But you have a couple of extra sons and no mother or daughter there so I don't know if this is the right family or not - what do you think?

RG11 1393 13 page19

1881 is Walter C BARKER (Brother in Law) born White Roothing Essex (East of Ware)

So Mary J, born White Roothing, was probably Mary J Barker ?

Henry born Edmonton Middlesex
Children born WhiteRoothing and Winchmore Hill


Odd note. Next door is a Frederick Bird 24, born Sandon, and wife Kate 22
