Hello Helena, Sorry to not answer sooner.  I wanted to look more closely at my folder of notes. Yes, there is quite a bit online about my family.  A distant cousin and I worked for some time developing the lineage and he has posted it to the Island Register, a site from Prince Edward Island, where our family eventually settled. We were helped immensely by another distant cousin who still lived in Suffolk. This was about 9 years ago. Yes, Helena, I'm quite sure your William and mine are not the same. There are, however, enough common names to make the whole idea that they may have been related in some way very interesting! My William and his wife, Mary Clarke (have not been able to establish if they were related) had 3 children christened in Westhall.....James, William and Joseph. They then seem to disappear. We then found a William and Mary having 7 additional children in Brampton. There was naturally always a suspicion in my mind that this could have been another William & Mary Clarke. After all, these were very common names. However, through some stroke of luck I got an email from a descendant of Hannah Clarke, born in Brampton in 1798 which somehow confirmed the fact that it was indeed the same couple. I would have to read all of my notes thoroughly to check what that info was. My Hannah married Isaac Colman in Lowestoft 1 Feb 1819.  I am a descendant of William, one of the sons christened in Westhall. This is the generation that moved to PEI. I see you have related names of Low & Redgrave, names I've run across too. We probably should not think this is a dead end. Perhaps if we could get one generation farther back, we could find a link somewhere. I know this has piqued my interest! I hope you keep in touch. I certainly will let you know if I find anything more.

I have come across a ton of stuff "out there" on your William Clarke  and Martha Newby, and how the family ended up in Canada etc. I am thinking that probably...."my" William bc1751 is not "your" William  bc1748/9 So. I am still looking.

I too have an  ancestor William Clarke who was christened in Westhall. My William was  christened in 1749 and married Mary Clarke 12 May 1777, also in Westhall.  Their son, also William, was christened 10 Feb 1783 in Westhall and married  Martha Newby 29 May 1809 in Uggeshall. This William was my 3rd great  grandfather. If you find any ties to your family, feel free to contact me off list. I  believe I have seen the Stannard name in doing my research but could not  find the reference to it in my quick look through my notes. Most of my work  on the Clarke family was done nearly 10 years ago. Hope to hear from you....

I was wondering if anyone knows how I might access the parish records for Westhall.... I did find that the early ones are available for viewing through an LDS library, but the 1800 period for Westhall does not appear to be listed in their catalog. I am in the US, so I do not have access to the Record Office. Thanks. Helena Researching CLARKE in Eye and Westhall, Suffolk.
