Many thanks to you all who have answered my request.I have now got some information that I was not aware of.
I am just hoping there might be someone out there who was a relative.
Regarding Ernest being buried at Ruckland,the vicar of the neighbouring village refused to bury him even though he had married a girl from that village.I have a copy of the letter that a friend of Ernest sent to the local paper.

Regards,
Jonmar.

Ernest was my grandfathers uncle. He used to tell me about him when I was young. He had a notebook of Ernest's in his possession. My grandfathers family were from Lincolnshire.

This looks like a birth for a daughter:
Births September quarter 1912
Elsie H S Clarke  mmn  Keal  at  Louth  (the name could be Elsie R S Clarke)

Possible marriage (to a Keal!):
Marriages June quarter 1934
Elsie R S Clarke  Grimsby   
 Frank T Keal    Grimsby   

and death:
 Elsie Rosemary S Keal born 2nd July 1912, died January 1995 Grimsby

probate for Elsie Rosemary Stepney Keal

to help in finding relatives.

Added:
Looks like Jessie did not marry again, as death:
Deaths March quarter  1964
Jessie K Clarke age  75  in Louth
