See your pm email ! Suggest you delete your email address from RC boards.
Was your William CLARE the CLARE of CLARE'S Weekly ?
If so my grandfather may have pened a few columns in the period 1900 to 1902 period on Fremantle Football matters whilst playing Australian Rules football with East Fremantle in 1900 & 1901.
I have only been told of this and do have copies of several articles from Clare's Weekly that were written about my grandfather not by him.
Sat August 13,1898,Sat August 20,1898,Sat August 24,1898Sat August 27,1898,Sat Sept 3,1898,Sept 10,1898,Sept 24,1898 & Sat Nov,19,1898.
Copies of Clare's Weekly are held in Battye Library (WA State Library)

Hi Kimberley
I don't know about Clare's Weekly, he started one of the first newspapers on the Goldfields "The Coolgardie Miner" and later had a Printing Business in Perth.
I have found WW1 records for two of his Sons. One died in Hamel, France but the other one survived. I shall have a search around for the Clare Weekly Mag and see what I find. You may find the picture attached interesting.

Hi there Kimberley,

Note record of Clarence Malcolm CLARE on NAA WW1 records & death of Alfred CLARE 10th March 1957 aged 66...was there a Frank (Francis) CLARE who served in WW! ?
Lavinia CLARE is recorded on headstone at Karrakatta with William Edward CLARE and Alfred CLARE died 10 March 1957 aged 66.
You have distracted me now ! I can't think of the name my grandfather allegedly subscribed to CLARE'S WEEKLY as circa 1900/1901/02 !
-
Thanks Kimberley I got the photos okay that was great. I shall check out Frank (francis) in WW1.
Again thanks for you time and effort

If you have the time could you please look up:

if you have time can you please look for Hunters buried in Karrakatta cemetery please will send my email to you

I noted that one of your replies as about service records in Australian Army. I had 2 great uncles who must have gone out to seek their fortune ,joined the Australian Army for 1914-1918. One died at Passchendale and the other went back to Oz. I have found pages of their war records on the Australian Records site---easy to read and no problem to find. Even gave info about the family they left back in England.

Jackeroo recently another Perth 'chatter kindly photographed headstones in the Karrakatta Cemetery for me and it is extremely helpful to supply the grave locations.
If you search on the following website you will find the grave locations for each of your relatives. Some areas of the cemetery have been part of a renewal programme and the headstones have been removed and used for landscaping materials.
http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/search.php
Just click onto the name of your relative and the grave location will be displayed.
Good luck

Hi Kimberley,
Wondering if you're still offering this wonderful service... If so, Richard John and Emma Lane Preece HAWORTH are in the Presbyterian Section AA Grave 0207. There may not be a headstone any more, but would dearly love a picture if there is.
Thanking you in anticipation,

Hi jenwren :)
Welcome to rootschat ;D
There is a facility to purchase photographs via the cemetery website. I was sent a photograph of a headstone that had been removed as part of their renewal program. I understand that many headstones are photographed before removal.
Please note....from the website.....there may not be a headstone on the grave you have requested. We will not know this until we visit the gravesite. For this reason, the fee is not refundable if there is no headstone.
http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/photoServ.html
If Kimberley us unable to do this, you may consider posting your request on the main Australian board.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,165.0.html
There are couple of chatters in Perth that may be able to help also. Wonderful to have chatters like Kimberley who offer their services so freely.
Cheers

Kimberly has modified her initial post - the heading no longer includes offer of photography
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,296288.msg1786921.html#msg1786921
see
http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/GenResearch.html
Or google.... Metropolitan Cemeteries Board.
Perhaps the thread should be locked.
I suggest that if you want a photograph of a grave that you post you request on the main Australian board. Photographs are also available by contacting the Cemetery. Areas of Karrakatta cemetery have been 'renewed' and the headstones removed.
