Waldemar came into use in England following the Princess Royal's (Queen Victoria's eldest daughter Vicky)marriage to Crown Prince Friedrich. Their sixth child was named Prince Waldemar of Prussia (Joachim Friedrich Ernst Waldemar) he lived for only a short time, February 1868 to March 1879, dying of diphtheria at the age of eleven. As for your Fooks connection, it isn't a transcription error for Fulker is it? Always on the lookout for Fulker's in Berkshire. (My interest in the descendants of Queen Victoria is mainly their connections to Haemophilia). Pat ... also in Suffolk :-) (but I think you might know that) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Barsby" <patriciabee47@hotmail.co.uk> To: <berkshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [BRK] CLARKE surname -Reading -Parish Baptisms 1880ish clipped > Thank you for the indicater, if that is him Waldermar could well be > something to look for as a Father's name, and thank you also for taking > the time to find him on the later census.
