April 5.
A magisterial inquiry was held here on Easter Monday, before Mr Fogarty, J.P., touching the death of Joseph Garrett, a well-known resident, aged 78 years. It appears he had been complaining lately of not feeling well, and about nine months ago was treated by Dr Boake for heart disease. On Saturday night he took a hearty tea about 6.30 p.m., and retired to rest about 9.30 with his wife and family. An hour later his wife gave him a dose of medicine and a cup of tea, and he then appeared as well as usual. About 3.30 a.m. she heard him give a loud groan and stretch himself. She at once jumped up and raised his head on her arm, and called her son, when it was found he was dead, although quite warm. A neighbour was called in, and her son, William, proceeded to the police station at Toongabbie and gave information to Constable Hall, who with great promptitude went to Cowwarr and examined the body, but could not find any marks of violence. Con. Hall then reported the matter to Mr Fogarty, who ordered an inquiry. Evidence was given that a fortnight ago deceased had asked Mr Martin, head teacher of the State School, to draw up his will, as Dr Boake had told him he might die at any moment. Mr Martin complied with his request, and gave evidence to that effect. After a deal of evidence had been taken, Mr Fogarty returned a verdict that death was due to failure of the heart's action.

Yes Thomas Clarke's father was a veterinary surgeon as this newspaper article shows. After the death of Thomas Clarke in 1860, the land that had been owned by him went up for auction. I enclose the newspaper article from British Newspaper Archive.

If I remember right the reason people would go to Trinity Church Hull rather than their local church to get married was because it was a church where if there were people in the family against the marriage, then couples would go to the church in Hull, and get married instead.

He was a Boxer & a Rugby Player as these newspaper entries show:
Hull Daily Mail - Tuesday 16 November 1926
ANDREW CARMICHAEL OUTPOINTED The concluding fight was that scheduled to go 15 rounds (2 minutes) between Andrew Carmichael, of Hull Kingston Rovers, and Percy Calladine, of Mexborough. Mr Harry Dorsey was the referee, and Mr Harry Wilson, of Cleethorpes, the timekeeper. Carmichael appeared to have slightly the weight advantage. The first two rounds were more or less meles, then in the third Carmichael, with a right swing to the chin, shook Caladine, and then appeared to push him to the floor. Calladine stayed down for eight. Both men were warned for holding. Carmichael was boxing on improved lines, and during the following few rounds landed punches to. the face with either hand. Calladine knew more about boxing, however, and was quick with his countering blows. Round nine opened with a whirlwind rush by Carmichael, but there was too much using of the head, and holding for the match to be really clean. The men stayed the distance, and Calladine was the winner on points.

Leeds Mercury - Tuesday 30 June 1936
HULL LOSE BATEMAN AND ANDREW CARMICHAEL. At the annual meeting of Hull Football Club last night, Mr. G. W. Miller, chairman of the directors, stated that the balance sheet showed a profit of £2,461. He paid tribute to the performance of the team in winning the Rugby League championship and the Yorkshire Rugby League Cup. York, he said, had the distinction of being the only team to beat them twice. On a third meeting which was for charity they raised the sum of £174 for the City of Hull Great War Trust. Two of their players were retiring this year. Bateman, threequarter, who would act in future as player-coach with the "A " team, and Andrew Carmichael, forward.
