The Clark and Talbot families of Wicklow
« on: Wednesday 31 January 18 03:54 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,

I've got a mysterious GG Grandmother, Annie Clark. She arrived in Australia from Ireland and married an Prussian man.

On her Marriage cert. It says she was born about 1849, from Wicklow, Ireland. Her parents being Charles Clark, a publican, and Catherine Talbot

I found a baptism for Ann Clark in Blackditches, Wicklow, Ireland 12 Aug 1850 with the parents Chas Clark and Cath Talbott
Other things on the cert were Parish Variants: Boystown, Valleymount. and Diocese: Dublin.

I think the might have left London to Melbourne in 1871 on the Malleny. She was a 20 yr old Irish girl. She traveled over as a servant in a group of 6. Robert Clark the eldest at 34, a miner, two male farmers aged 23, Ann, and two other servants with the name Smith. I'm not sure whether Robert Clark is an older bother, young uncle or a cousin. Maybe no relation?

I don't know anything else about her Parents, which would be nice to know more about them. I know there was a place called Talbotstown in County Wicklow back then. I don't have access to them, but there are 1852 land assessments there for a Charles Clark, and another for Richard Talbott. These were of the Parish Boystown.

I've found no marriage or birth certs of either Charles or Catherine, or whether they had any other children, or where they may have died. Does someone with more resources than I know what to do next?

Sean

parents being Charles Clark and Catherine Talbot you can Search for their Marriage and scroll through looking for Robert 14 years before Mary, maybe he is a brother...

There are also some baptisms with parents Charles and Catherine Clark/e - no maiden name.

Eliza Clarke 5th Feb 1835

Michael Clarke 9th July 1836
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633351#page/20/mode/1up

Catherine Clarke 18th October 1837   
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633351#page/26/mode/1up

If these are your family, it might give you a timeframe for the marriage and also looking at the frequency of these births, there would probably be several other children.
However, it is not certain the this Charles and Catherine are yours.
