Georgina’s death

https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/AG19290222.2.20?items_per_page=10&query=Clarke%2c+georgina&snippet=true

So…did she actually come separately from Ireland?

[mckha489]

That marriage is too early for parents to be named.
But are they on his death certificate? (If anyone knew of course)

Added, Son’s name also William Robert

What is the Melbourne connection?

That notice says William Robert is the only son.  Yet it is apparent from the notice for Georgina and other notices that they had many sons..

I'm beginning to think William Robert Clarke's father never left Pickmere and the poster has confused 2 families.

The Robert Clarke married Georgina had 8 sons and 3 daughters still living that doesn't account for others who may have died?.

Thank you to all the replies. I appreciate all the help.
William Robert #1 is the man I am looking for. Born C1833
According to his son's marriage notice in 1889.(William Robert #2). His father William Robert#1 was of Pickmere.  but he was here in NZ before 1863? Would they have put Pickmere if he had been in New Zealand for more than 20 years?

 This was William Robert's( #2), 1st marriage.

William Robert #1 came to NZ sometime before 1863, (time of his marriage to Georgina), which incidentally makes the Obituary for Georgina incorrect. They have a son William Robert(#2) in 1868. William Robert #2 and all his siblings were born in New Zealand.
 
I am doing this for a friend, she cannot afford to buy Certificates. So I am doing this a bit hogtied.

Okay, I am so confused. I can't make this make any sense.
 Something is not right with this tree.
I think I will have to start her tree again from scratch.

There is a tree for this Clarke family on FamilySearch with quite a few sources that might be of help.

Do check all records, of course.

There is a William Clark age 5 in 1871 census born Tranmere Cheshire.
Living with Thomas Warrington age 79 who is his "great" grandfather.

Trouble is you would have to find all the children of Thomas Warrington and Sarah, then all their children to find who married William Clark.

Perhaps this one
William Clarke registered Birkenhead 1866 M Quarter Vol 08A page 490 with mothers maiden name Owens
----------
One of Thomas Warrington's daughters Martha married James Owens 1846 and they are living with Thomas Warrington 1861 along with William Clarke
So it must be one of Martha's daughters who married a Clark

[amondg]

James Owens married Martha Warrington 16 February 1846

children found so far with mother's maiden name Warrington

Ann registered 1843 Wirral (they hadn't officially married yet)
James 1846 registered Wirral
Thomas 1848 registered Wirral born 28 August 1848
Jane 1850 registered Wirral
Margaret 1855 registered Wirral

All except Jane and Thomas are with their mother Martha 1871

[amondg]

The Great grandson Thomas S Owens age 9 in 1871

He was registered as James Sewell Owens 1861 Birkenhead

ADDED
1861 are with their grandparent Thomas Warrington
James Owens 14
Margaret Owens 6
Ann Owens  17
Jane Owens 10

[amondg]

Ann Owens married Joseph Clarke 1863 registered Wirral

1871 census
Joseph Clarke 26
Annie 27
Agnes E 6 (Agnes Eleanor)- 1864
Martha J 3   - 1867
Ada 1    - 1870

with son William 1866 with his great grand father Thomas Warrington and his grand mother Martha Owens.

If this is your William Clarke then perhaps if he always lived with them he couldn't remember his fathers correct name when he married New Zealand 1889
