William P. Clare marine engineer - Brickwall

[Muffin41]

I have a brick wall and need some help from other rootschaters to find out more about William P. Clare and family.

From the 1911 census I have found that William P. Clare born 1877 in Sunderland was a Marine Engineer, when at home living at 13 Ann Street, Sunderland with his wife Elizabeth D. Clare.

In the Household there are three nieces; Dorothy, Elizabeth and (Emma) Susannah Clare who I believe are the children of Walter George Clare who married Eleanor Jane Bromley in Brisbane Queensland.

Any help welcome; I have posted this topic on the Australian board as well.
