Looking for CLARKES
« on: Tuesday 16 May 23 14:48 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm struggling to find information on someone.
I have:
JOHN WILLIAM CLARKE born 1880 in Leicestershire and died 1958, married a REBECCA JANE born 1880 Leicester (unknown maiden name at this point) she died 1971, both are buried in Belgrave Cemetery.
they had two children:
EDNA MAY CLARKE born 1909
LESLIE CLARKE born 1906

Im trying to find John William Clarke's parents and also his wife's maiden name.
Thank you

You can find the mother's maiden name for free by searching the GRO index:
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

You have to make an account first.

CLARKE, LESLIE       GREGORY 
GRO Reference: 1904  S Quarter in LEICESTER  Volume 07A  Page 209

CLARKE, EDNA  MAY     GREGORY 
GRO Reference: 1909  M Quarter in LEICESTER  Volume 07A  Page 164

In this case, it is Gregory.

They married on 20th February 1904 in Leicester.

John's father was Thomas Clarke, rivetter, and Rebecca's was Charles Gregory, carriage painter.
