Joseph DANKS & Clara WILSON
« on: Thursday 31 May 12 15:12 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for information on Joseph Danks & Clara Wilson who married in Stockton, NSW in 1891.  I know Clara was the daughter of James & Sarah Wilson & she was born in 1870, Higham, England.  She came from England in 1886 with her parents & siblings aboard the "Aberdeen".  I can't find any other info on Joseph apart from the fact that he died in 1930 at Newcastle aged 64 yrs.  I would like to know what happened to Joseph & Clara & whether they had children, when Clara died, & who his family was, etc.  I would appreciate any help in this regard.

I will have another look at this record.  I can't find any death notices for Clara, but maybe Joseph did remarry or Joseph may have been the son though can't find any other birth records for Clara & Joseph other than Annis in 1893. I will check what is on the war records for family, etc.  I do know that the previous suggestions regarding Annis being married to Leslie Harman aren't the Danks I am looking for as the ages don't work out right for this Annis. So I am still looking into this, but at this stage may still have a dead end.

Thank you for your suggestion.  I will follow it up & see where it leads me.
