With what church is/was Old St. Peter's Cemetery associated? I believe that the cemetery is/was in the Thorold, Canada area. What is the history of this church? I found that Alfred William Clarke, ca. 1835 - ca. 1881, was buried in Old St. Peter's Cemetery, then moved to Lakeview Cemetery, Thorold, Canada. He is buried next to his wife, Henrietta, but there is no headstone for Alfred. The Lakeview Cemetery has no information about Alfred except his burial location. Any suggestions as how I might find out more about Alfred? Joe in Idaho, the Gem State.

Hi Folks, I'm seeking information on the family of Thomas Clarke, Seaman and Sarah Kienan. On the 1881 Census, the family are at Burlington Street, Liverpool and include daughters Sarah Clarke (1861), Mary Jane Clarke (1868) and Esther Clarke (1873). Thomas is presumably at sea on Census night. Did anyone in this family have a shop in West Derby, Liverpool? Any info appreciated. Regards Roy Kelley

Hello, This is not the case in the USA. To apply for a birth cert. here, you must provide the parents names. Without the parents names, you get no b.c. for the person.

Dade county was formed around 1837 in the extreme Northwest corner of Georgia. It was not on the Federal Road path and in fact had little access until around the 1930's. The Chicamauga Cheorkees lived in that area. The Thomas CLark listed in the book THE WHITES AMONG THE CHEROKEES is picked up on the North Georgia census in 1830 listed as a farmer... no family is listed with him, it does indicate that he is not married at this time. This Thomas Clark is again picked up on the 1831 census but there is no indication that he remained in Georgia... which if he went to Dade County he could well have been in the Tennessee area which was the only access into the area at that time. This census information was for those who were living in the North Georgia area and who filed for permission to live there among the Indians and continue with their business. I might add that there were 5 Uptons living in Georgia during that time frame also, later on in the 1835-1838 time frame. Many men became ministers of the word during these years. It wasn't unusual for a farmer or merchant to also be a minister. It doesn't carry must weight since many of them also married several times, may have had a white AND an Indian wife at the same time as well. It was a hard life in what was considered a thickly forested wild country, hard to tame. Anyway by studying the history of the area you first find your Thomas Clark listed - you may get some clues as to when he actually was first in Georgia... the age seems to fit, this listing could be him.
