With no other name but the surname you are probably going on a wild goose chase as you say. I don't know that I have anything else to suggest.

I'm afraid I only have the surname McNamara of Shepparton and the date of around the 1880's. This particular family took in my husband's grandfather WILLIAM EDWARD CLARKE as a youngster after the death of his sister, Alice Clarke in Avenel in 1877. His parents, Thomas and Maria Clarke may have separated it is not known. He also had a brother, Henry Wilkinson Clarke who may have been with the McNamaras as well, as the boys were born 1864 and 1863 in Heathcote. > > After years of searching we have never found the whereabouts of the parents. > > It's a wild goose chase really, but I've just got to try and piece it together if I can. > > Robyn > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Joy Bell > To: AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 7:03 PM > Subject: Re: [AVNE] MCNAMARA Help Please > > > Hallo Robyn > > McNAMARA is a well known name around Numurkah / Shepparton area.
