Greeting to all the members, I don't know whether I can get any help on my ggg grandparents but nothing ventured, nothing gained. My research has showed that Louisa's maiden name was Selby but others have not agreed with her mother's name. I am researching John Clarke and his wife who I believe lived at Cotton End. (Bedfordshire?) They had a daughter Elizabeth Clarke born in 1834 at Carringdon in Huntingdonshire and married in 1852 to a William Joseph Donelly and they came to Australia and were in South Australia for a couple of years before they shifted to Victoria where they remained. Elizabeth died in 1918 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Any information would be appreciated. Kind regards, Loretta (Crowley) Everingham Be my myspace friend http://www.myspace.com/laurie785

Loretta, Do you have any information from the birth, marriage or death certificates of Elizabeth Donnelly (Clarke) that might confirm her birthplace?. I'm a bit worried about the move from Huntingdon to Bedfordshire. Have you been able to confirm this with 1841 and 1851 census data? As you say, opinions seem divided. Another place to look might be SA Shipping Records but it depends on the year of migration. A lot of SA Shipping records were lost. Peter in Sydney

I share Peter's worries. There is no Carringdon in Hunts - the nearest is Conington or Covington. But Cotton End is a hamlet of Cardington, Beds and I wonder if something may have got lost in translation. I'll see what else I can find David --- En date de : Lun 30.6.08, Peter Booth <[email protected]> a écrit : > De: Peter Booth <[email protected]> > Objet: Re: [BDF] RE INFORMATION ON JOHN CLARKE AND LOUISA CLARKE > À: [email protected] > Date: Lundi 30 Juin 2008, 10h32 > Loretta, > > Do you have any information from the birth, marriage or > death > certificates of Elizabeth Donnelly (Clarke) that might > confirm her > birthplace?. > > I'm a bit worried about the move from Huntingdon to > Bedfordshire.
