Death notice in 1931 for daughter of Charles and Emily CLARKE named Elizabeth Beatrice Alice.
Here known as Trixie McHARDY. She married McHARDY.
This lists a number of siblings some of whose births can be found as CLARKE and Charles as father, but some of whose I cannot. Jack and Maude.

I will type up the births now, but I have not located all.
