See your pm email ! Suggest you delete your email address from RC boards.

Was your William CLARE the CLARE of CLARE'S Weekly ?

If so my grandfather may have pened a few columns in the period 1900 to 1902 period on Fremantle Football matters whilst playing Australian Rules football with East Fremantle in 1900 & 1901.

I have only been told of this and do have copies of several articles from Clare's Weekly that were written about my grandfather not by him.
Sat August 13,1898,Sat August 20,1898,Sat August 24,1898Sat August 27,1898,Sat Sept 3,1898,Sept 10,1898,Sept 24,1898 & Sat Nov,19,1898.

Copies of Clare's Weekly are held in Battye Library (WA State Library)

Hi Kimberley
I don't know about Clare's Weekly, he started one of the first newspapers on the Goldfields "The Coolgardie Miner" and later had a Printing Business in Perth.
I have found WW1 records for two of his Sons. One died in Hamel, France but the other one survived.  I shall have a search around for the Clare Weekly Mag and see what I find.  You may find the picture attached interesting.
Regards Nessy

Hi there Kimberley,
  Thank you for your kind offer.
Wonder if you could get me a photo of the grave of James Norman Sneddon at Karrakatta Sect AA Grave no 0105 Baptist section. James was a very young child when he died.
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Mariac

Note record of Clarence Malcolm CLARE on NAA WW1 records & death of Alfred CLARE 10th March 1957 aged 66...was there a Frank (Francis) CLARE who served in WW! ?

Lavinia CLARE is recorded on headstone at Karrakatta with William Edward CLARE and Alfred CLARE died 10 March 1957 aged 66.

You have distracted me now ! I can't think of the name my grandfather allegedly subscribed to CLARE'S WEEKLY as circa 1900/1901/02 !
