Vikiroland, Hello,  We know that Susan McDowell Clarke married Ronald Bollen, and that they lived in New Zealand, before returning to his native Canada.....we also know that they have now both sadly passed away......we are trying to find information about Susan's grandfather Samuel Clarke.....he was my wife's greatgrandfather, he seems to have ''vanished'' in the early 1900's in Ireland.....if you have any information it would be most appreciated......Regards Del.

Hello
Susan & Ron are my husband's parents.  We do have some information about your great grandfather but it is unconfirmed also. My husband Ronald Jnr will be in contact with the information he knows.
Regards

Thank you for the reply, we have been looking for information on Samuel Clarke for about four years now, we know that he married Susannah McDowell in Ireland, and that they parted company in 1899 after a very nasty incident, for which Samuel went to jail, Susannah, we believe fled to Scotland, with son Samuel Allan Clarke.....second son Hugh Joseph Clarke was born there in 1900.....we look forward to hearing from you, as any information is most appreciated.......Regards Del.

Hello Vicki. My wife is the daughter of Joseph Hugh Clarke (1918--1975).....he was the son of Hugh Joseph Clarke (1900--1972)......he was the second son of Samuel Clarke (1865--??) and Susanna McDowell (1876--1928).......we believe that their first son was Samuel Allan Clarke (1897--1978) HIS daughter was Susan McDowell Clarke........hope this makes sense, we believe our information to be correct, although some of it is unconfirmed, and there may be mistakes.......... Regards Del.

Still no news on the elusive Samuel Clarke, so posting this to keep the thread ''alive''......someone out there must know what happened to him.....there are now three, possibly four of us looking for him.....of course there may be others searching for information on him, if anyone has anything on him, no matter how unimportant it may seem, please get in touch, we just need that one lucky break to allow us to fill in some gaps on the family tree.........Regards Del.
