Looking for Clarke in Inver

[taramcdsmall]

There is a reference to the family here too but I'm not sure what it is exactly

Does it make sense to you Shane ??

Looks like an 1851 census lookup relating to an old-age pension application in 1916 for a James Clarke of Golan, Milford. This James seems to have been found with his parents Andrew and and Elinor Clarke on the return age 4 - so proves he would have been about 69 in 1916.

Parents dont seem to match the details he gave - he listed his family as Clarke, Andrew and Coulter, Isabella

If I was to hazard a guess I would say this person is related

It looks as though your Andrew's father was also called Andrew and his mother Susan Donnell

so if I'm right these are the names of your great great great grandparents

(also explains where your great grandmother Susan got her name from)

Would need to be checked out though !

I updated my post above re the old age pension lookup - that James reported his family as Andrew and Isabella but the only James they found had different parents....
