Samuel Clarke....Still not found His Death

[Del 80]

So, what DID happen to the elusive Samuel Clarke ?? got lot's of posts on here about him, but don't know how to link to them, so apologies.......born 1865, Banbridge, Co. Down, married 1896, to Susannah McDowell, Kilmegan parish, went to jail in 1899/1900.....after that nothing, possible dead by 1912 as she re-married as a widow in Scotland.....been looking for almost 10 years now.

You don’t give enough detail to know do you know where Samuel and Sussanna lived in 1901. separately or together in any Irish or Scottish census
Based entirely on age and b Co Down a Samuel stated as single in 1901 and 1911 and as a complete speculation have you any connection to a  Samuel Clarke Date of death 17 June 1936 living with sisters Mary and Margaret in 1901 and 1911 in Agnes Street from https://ssl.belfastcity.gov.uk/burialsearch/BurialRecordDetails.aspx?RecordID=6607.10221

Thanks for that.....it has certainly got me thinking.....we always believed that Samuel's parents were Bernard Clarke and Sarah Allan, although we could never prove it......this throws a whole new light on things.....his wife Susanna fled to Scotland about 1900 after he tried to kill her, for which he was jailed at Belfast assize......he only got 6 months, and was never heard of again.

[Del 80]

Mmmhhh.......the plot thickens....on Sussana's death certificate, in 1928, it says that she was married to Robert Sanders, which is correct, it also says that her first husband was JAMES Clarke, which has always puzzled me.......

[Del 80]

This is the Samuel Clarke that we are looking for.......
