Hi Tami I expect you have loads of requests. but I would be very grateful if you could help me. My 3 x GG William CLARKE born 1861 UK Wife Marie emigrated to Chicago in 1906 with family opened a shoe shop in Cook County? Family returned to England in 1912 almost caught the "Titanic". He left a son behind called Mursell CLARKE born 1887app UK He married a lady called Beatrice, they had at least 5+ Children (I have photo). The one I am most interested in is Walter (E) CLARKE, I met him in London in 1957. HE was a pilot on a aircraft Carrier in the Pacific in WW2 and later as a Cmdr on The Coral Sea in the Med. At this time he had two Children Claudia & Wallis. I have tried the National Personnel Record Center in St Lois to no avail without a date of birth & service number. Any information on this family ie date of births etc would be most welcome.

Here is another possibility: Are you sure about the middle imitial for Walter? The brittish registry lists the father birth as Mursell William T. CLARKE. Chicago Sun-Times Obituaries, 1988-95 Record about Clarke, Walter E. Name:Clarke, Walter E. Date:7/3/95 These are the ones with middle initial E but they don't match up age wise with the census records.
