Clark(e) - Gartland Family Drogheda
« on: Sunday 21 January 07 12:29 UTC (UK) »
I have traced my ancestry to the following Drogheda family who came to Sunderland c.1850:
John Clark married Catherine Gartland c.1840 and had the following children -
Bridget b.1843 Drogheda. Sponsors James Duffy & Mary Gartlany
Matthew b.1845 Drogheda. Sponsors Mich.Curran & Bridget Hamill

Catherine Gartland had a sister, Margaret and she married a Christopher Thornton and they too came to Sunderland.

I have been trying to establish where in Drogheda this family came from by using the 1837 Drogheda Householders list as well as Griffiths. I found Clarks, Gartlands and Duffys in Barrack Lane in 1837. In Griffiths I found Clarks, Thorntons and Gartlands in Yellowbatter. Are these likely to be the same connected families or was Barrack Lane a more urban location than Yellowbatter and therefore the connection less likely.

Any help here would be much appreciated

Hi Bill

My gt grandmother's family were from Drogheda, does this little extract concerning the Clarke connection ring any bells?
