Hi Lisa, I have a David CLARK/E in my family. Father born in Ireland;David born Manhattan NYC. There are 3 married CLARK/E brothers from County Cavan, all in the shoe business, all with children. I have to check just which family my David belongs to. David is not a common given name amoung Irish. Even if we are not connected, you know how the Irish named their children after sibs, parents, and aunts and uncles. So, they may be some distant connection. Do you have the DC for your David, or know his heritage? Merry Christmas, Barb ========== [email protected] writes: > A member of my CLARKE family appears in the 1860 census but not in 1870. > My guess is he died before reaching adulthood, sometime in the 1860s, in > Brooklyn.
