I have a brick wall and need some help from other rootschaters to find out more about William P. Clare and family.
From the 1911 census I have found that William P. Clare born 1877 in Sunderland was a Marine Engineer, when at home living at 13 Ann Street, Sunderland with his wife Elizabeth D. Clare.
In the Household there are three nieces; Dorothy, Elizabeth and (Emma) Susannah Clare who I believe are the children of Walter George Clare who married Eleanor Jane Bromley in Brisbane Queensland.
Any help welcome; I have posted this topic on the Australian board as well.

The Board of Trade enquiry report confirms William P Clare was Ist Enginener of the London Registered ship NUNNINGTON Official Number 145109. (page 3)
NUNNINGTON left Swansea on the 11th/April/1924. She was never seen again. Lost with all hands.

It appears that her 1924 Crew Agreements and Logbooks, have not survived
