Henry Clarke

Geoff,

Looking at these it looks like he remarried Charlotte not long after marrying Elizabeth, for what ever reason. The plot thickens.

Regards

A little more confusion for you.

The 1871 Census is under CLARK living in Chester
RG10/3730 Folio43 p4
Posnetts Court  ? Street  Chester

Henry Clark Head M 27  Plumber           b Chester
Elizabeth Clark Wife M 26                                "
Sarah        "      Mother   Widow 72         "
Elizabeth Powell  Sister Widow  40 Dom Cook  "
Albert  Clark        son  1                                     "
Henry Powell       nephew  11                  b Shrewsbury
Ann Ruffel?         mother in law M 67    Laundress  b Wrexham? Denbighshire

So as Sarah was the mother of Henry, the look up of Nessie was the correct family on 1851 Census.

The maiden name of Elizabeth was Ruffel but difficult to read the entry.

A marriage of Henry Clark(e) with Elizabeth Ruffel? would be interesting to find.

Geoff,

You have come up trumps again.  Henry Clarke b 1844 son Harry Clarke married   Annie Powell.
I have found a record in the Chester Registry Office of a marriage between Henry Clarke and Elizabeth Ruffell.

I will call this week and purchase the marriage certificate.

Thanks again.

Paul

Geoff,

Where would you suggest the best place to look for Henry Clarke Settle.

I take it, Settle is  Yorkshire.

Any help would be appreciated.
