East Claydon,Clark(e) family

[Sheila Whittingham]

Looking for information on Clarke family of East Claydon.My husbands great Great grandmother was Ann(e) Clark(e) various spellings, who was born about1822 and married Edward Matthews of Essex in Adelaide Australia in 1840 and had a number of children. They returned to England in the 1850's and had a second family born in Chapple, Essex, finally ending up in Manchester Lancs.On the 1881 census for Chorlton on Medlock , Manchester Ann is a widow helping run a confectionery business with her children. Ann died in 1893.
Thankyou.Sheila.

Thankyou Maddie

Thanks again
