PS. Guildfield parish registers for the year 1835 reveal one Emma Clarke being baptised 15 Feb to Samuel & Emma Clarke of Tyrynynech, so looks like on the right track here. Cheers Graham

PPS. I can see why Emma was 'farmed out,' because there are another seven children born to this couple. 1830-1847, and Samuel may well have re-married later to a Martha - need to check this - with another child being born. Poor Emma, looks as if she got the short straw, then again life with the Dudleys might have well have been a hoot. Certainly shows she was set on a path of discipline, and no doubt righteousness!
