Clifford N Clarke descendants
« on: Friday 25 April 25 17:54 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to track down a DNA match of mine, Patricia McLeod. Putting the cM values of known shared matches into DNAPainter indicates that she is likely the daughter of one of Clifford Norman Clarke's children. He's my great uncle.

Clifford (b. 1887 d. 1970) emigrated to Canada in 1902 and eventually lived in Calgary, Alberta, with wife, Joyce Dingwall Luke. They had 5 children that I've been able to discover:
JG b.1924
KN b.1926
ED b.1928
SA b.1931
CH b.1935

Not having access to Canadian records at the moment I'm a bit stuck, so would appreciate any help!

We aren't allowed to post details of living/possibly living people and some of the ones you've posted could very well be alive. Recent Canadian vital records for all Provinces have restricted access to recent ones. Have you tried contacting both your match and her mutual matches?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

OK, thanks. I'm happy to accept DMs. My match isn't responding to  messages, other matches are very distant. I'm the closest by a long way.

Hi,

From the obit for Eileen Pat Doris Trollope (nee Clarke) there is only one surviving sibling.

Having said that, you may want to remove the 2 names in your post who we believe are living.

With the both of us, it was a great result.

Cheers,
