Robert Clark(e)-Lois Jones,Liverpool.

[wrjones]

My relative Robert Clarke was born in Liverpool Lancashire in 1877 and was the son of a Timothy Clarke and Hannah Barlow.He married a Lois Jones at Seaforth St Thomas,Lancashire in 1904.Lois's father is given as a Richard Jones on the marriage record and she was also born in Liverpool; in c 1882.The couple had three children,a Richard Timothy born in c 1905,Cooper born in c 1906 and Irene born in c 1909,all born in Liverpool.

Whilst I'm unsure as to when exactly Robert emigrated to the USA,his wife and children are passengers on the Mauretania to New York in February 1913.The family are shown together in the 1930 Census as Clark living in Bloomfield Essex,New Jersey.

I'm looking for any connections and descendants of this family in the USA or any news as to what became of the  children.

Regards
William Russell Jones.

The couple had three children,a Richard Timothy born in c 1905,Cooper born in c 1906 and Irene born in c 1909,all born in Liverpool

.

The passenger manifest of the Mauretania (Feb 1913) says that Richard Timothy was born In Jersey City and Cooper in Pittsburgh.

The 1920 US census has them in Essex County New Jersey, and shows Richard as born in New Jersey and Cooper in PA.
