Clarkes of Crosses Green, Cork City

Hi Mary
Sorry you asked me who WAC married?  He married a Scottish girl named Mary Langhorne Mills Smith, father Charles Smith merchant from London.  Their children in order were

Charles Smith Clarke (named after Mary's father, military, died in South Africa)
William Aldworth Clarke (named after WAC - died in infancy)
Elizabeth McLachlan Clarke (named after Mary's mother - died in infancy)
William Henry Aldworth Clarke (why Henry? - don't know what happened to him)
Mary Webb Clarke (my husband's line of descent - so who was Mary Webb?)

There was an Abraham Clarke who married a Mary Webb in Cork but their trail has gone cold.  Definitely no Abraham's in the family.  Nor Christopher's for that matter.

All the best
Chris

Hi Hallmark
Thank you very much for contributing to my post.  WAC's Will does not mention any family members other than "brothers and sisters", so another dead end. 

Do you know if any documentation exists in relation to the application for the Freemen of Cork?.  I suspect this would help narrow things down.
All the best
Chris

Greetings. I am searching for more information about (Colonel) Sir William Clarke (1762-1808), from Cork County, who served in India from 1799-1808. He married Margaret Prendergast in 1799; sources suggest she went with him to India where they were married in Madras after arrival (unless she was already in Madras!), and they had seven children together, the last born in May 1808 after his death in February 1808 at Seringapatam, Mysore, India.

I would love to be contacted by any descendants who might know more of their history--Margaret and children apparently ended up, eventually, in England, and I don't think she ever remarried.

Thanks in advance for any leads.

Hi, I’m probably a bit late to this thread but I’ve just traced my G4 grandfather on my mother’s side back to Cork, Ireland and I was wondering if there might be a connection. His name was George Clarke (1811-1898) and he migrated to Thetford, Norfolk in the early 1800s (not sure when but he was born in Cork and married Sarah Woodcock (1813-1844) in Thetford in 1831). His father was also called George Clarke (1785-?) and was married to Margaret Hayes (1789-1865), both were born and died in Cork. I’m visiting Cork later in the year and would love to know a bit more about this side of my family so anything that anyone can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
