Hi Carol, Yes, I'm researching a CLARKE family from the Isle of Man. I'm rather new to the very exciting world of genealogy. Here is what I have so far: My great-grandfather was Thomas Edward CLARKE, christened 11 Oct. 1874, to James CLARKE and Catherine RADCLIFFE who were married, according to the IGI on 15 Nov. 1856 in Lezayre. Their family appears in the following census: 1861 Census James CLARKE, Head, 25, agricultural labourer, Bride Catherine, Wife, 26, Andreas James, 7, Lezayre (Possibly from a previous marriage?) Mary E., 3, Lezayre Catherine, 1, Lezayre 1871 Census James CLARKE, Head, 34, labourer, Ramsey Catherine, Wife, 36, Andreas James, 17 Catherine Jane, 11 Margaret A., 9 John R., 7 William, 5 Emily, 3 Richard, 1 I believe Catherine died in 1878. Brian Lawson's website has the following: CLARKE, Catherine, 44, Lonan, 19 Oct. 1878 1881 Census James, Head, 45, Gardener Mary E., 23 William, 15 Richard, 11 Edith L., 8 Thomas E., 6 (My Great-Grandfather) Anna H., 2 (I don't know who her mother is.) 1891 Census James CLARKE, 55, Gardener Mary E., 33 Richard, 21 William, 25 Edith L., 18 Thomas E., 16 Anna H., 12 Frances E., 8 (I don't know who her mother is.) Thomas Edward CLARKE married Mary Alice DYSON on 18 Mar. 1899 in Haslingden. Her father, George Edward DYSON moved to the Isle of Man and ran the Oddfellows Arms Hotel for a few years. That's all I know, so far. Kim On Sep 1, 2005, at 11:54 AM, Carol wrote: > Is there anyone else researching the CLARKE families from the Isle of > Man? > Would like to hear from you. > > Thanks ...

Hello Kim, Your CLARKE's don't sound familiar to me, but you never know, at some point they may hook up. I'll keep your email in my CLARKE file. Meanwhile, I found James age 65 on the 1901 census, and have emailed it to you separately. I'll do a little more sleuthing for you. Speak soon, Carol --------------------------------------------------------------- > Hi Carol, > > Yes, I'm researching a CLARKE family from the Isle of Man.
