William and Emma Clark (nee Dickinson) married in 1857 and had 5 children - William Henry, Alfred James, Sarah, Francis George and Ann Elizabeth. In 1871 they were living in Littlemore in Oxfordshire http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...src=&pid=57901 Class: RG10; Piece: 1265; Folio: 83; Page: 29; GSU roll: 827846.
William and Emma then vanish, so now I am trying to trace the children. From a tree on Ancestry, it looks like William Henry enters the army and goes to India where he marries Charlotte Scammell (Details on FamilySearch) and they have a son in 1885 in India also called William Henry.
By 1891 William and Charlotte are back in England with a 1-year old son Frederick. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...d&pid=16829128 Class: RG12; Piece: 2424; Folio: 99; Page: 15; GSU Roll: 6097534. Details match for birth dates and places.
Now it starts to get confusing. According to the online tree, William dies in 1900 in the Boer War, but in 1901 is back with Emma in the census - but now calling himself Francis George. I'm pretty sure that this is Williams brother, as the dob matches, but cannot find a marriage for him and Charlotte. Frederick is with them plus 3 more children http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?h...=&pid=16579066 Class: RG13; Piece: 2873; Folio: 93; Page: 43.
I'm having trouble trying to find deaths marriages and births for this lot. It looks like Walter George, the youngest child goes to Canada, and possibly some of the others too. Can anyone help me in sorting this lot out?
Thanks
