I believe John Murden married Clara Gardner in 1873. Clara was the sister of my great great grandfather, Walter Gardner, who was a witness at the marriage. All of Clara's children are named after her siblings, most notably Emma Agnes who was her sister, born 1841, died 1871. Clara's father was William Gardner, not John William Gardner as stated on marriage- he died 1853 in Chichester and was an innkeeper. The family were Romany gypsies - a tale told by my grandfather (Walter's grandson) yet this was only proved with more research as we never believed him! They travelled between Chichester and Finsbury and their children were born in these two places. Clara's mother was called Sarah Agnes and you can find them living in Brighton in 1871 as she'll basket makers. My g-g-grandfather Walter and another sibling called Henry also resided here and were horse grooms. Clara and Walter then must have travelled to London, Walter becoming a professional photographer - he changed his name to Walter Blink Gardner and if you google him many articles will appear. Little is known of What happened to Henry. Walter Blink Gardner was also a very popular entertainer, and I have many newspaper articles about him! If you'd like to know don't hesitate to ask, regards Rachel
