Wow wee, this has been some search for me, lol, you would not believe it until you had seen the comings and goings of this family of Clarks, out of an Edwards Clan, (which I think), starts in Lincoln.
Yes Henry Clark and Mary Anderson had 4 children, the last pair, where given very odd middle names, and can be found in the Sheffield Council BDM's site.
If you follow back a bit you will find you had a Great Gran by the name of Elizabeth Edwards, whos father was out of Peterborough.
This is so thrilling, and after such a long time Thanks for getting back to me.

Have never found out much about them but Hilary and Tim Clark  are my second cousins!  Anthony Henry Clark definitely married Margaret Walton Hadfield in 1935.

I only have two children for Herbert Henry Clark and Mary Anderson so four children is news to me.  I have another second cousin who might be able to fill in some blanks if I ask.  What do we really want to know now?

Barbara Adelaide was born in Totley which was Derbyshire in those days.

Thanks Suz,
Think I have now found one other Anthony's children, a Timothy R. Clark b Sheffield 1938, he had a sister Hilary M. b1936 Sheffield, Tony married, Barbara J. Crowder, and have traced his family via Ancestry BDM's
Hilary M. Clark marriage is a much harder nut to crack.

George Charles Clark b 1911, Mary Violet b1917. both at Ecclesall Bierlow.
Regards.

According to the Commonwealth war-graves site her maiden name was Leaver

Thanks for that, someone with a 'Find my past' membership, has found all of the family living in Genoa, Italy, sadly no marriage certificate, but documents I have gathered, refers to Olga Leaver's as an Italian lady.

Sadly when revisiting this topic, have found this web site no longer there?
http://www.driffield.org.uk/harrygladstonemillner.html.

Did manage to trace their children, neither married, and lived at Cardiff.
Regards.

Have recovered some of the details off the 1851 (burnt) census, and there Robert says he was born in Ireland. Unable to trace his 41 census, so the only hope of finding out where he said he was; is by looking up the 1851 Schedules, via either the Records held in Lancs, or maybe the Police Museum in Manchester?
As this page details all the serving policemen stationed at Pendleton, I think it quite important, so maybe the museum should have copies off?
Cheers.
