  • Clark Family

    Hi all,

    I am looking to research my grandfathers family tree. He passed away just before christmas, he never spoke of his family so it is all a bit of a mystery to me. To my knowledge he didnt have a great life growing up and I am aware that he and his siblings were put into care at Dr Barnardos and then fostered. Other than this I am clueless.

    I know his parents Were Arthur Clark (1906) and Rose E C Saunders (1915-1973). His siblings Hazel (1933-1995) Arthur (1934-2004) Thelma (1939-2018) All born in Cambridge

    Another mystery was what happened to Arthur as no one knows what happened to him. To my knowledge he went to war and that was the last anyone knew of him.

    If anyone can help me anyway get me some answers it would greatly be appreciated!!

    Dan

    This is from the 1939 Register which later became the basis for the NHS in 1947, and was constantly updated by the NHS until ca 1991.


    Address:- 23 Godhic Street, Cambridge

    Arthur G Clark 18 May 1907 Gas Mark Assembler Married
    Rose E R Warters (Clark) 28 Mar 1915 Unpaid Domestic Duties Married
    Arthur G Clark 09 Oct 1934 Under School Age Single
    The record for this person is officially closed. Can I get around this?

    Gas Mark Assembler should be Gas Mask Assembler
    The image for Rose looks as if there has been a mistransciption, it does look like Rose E. C rather than the Rose E R on here.

    Rose married again at some point after 1939 to a Mr Warters (???Watters), because this was updated by hand in a different colour ink.

    The 2 closed records are for persons not know to be dead.

        Was your grandfather Anthony H. B Clark, born June quarter 1937?


        There might also have been another child, but I can't find a death or marriage for her on Freebmd ........

        Female Clark, born December quarter 1935

        Sorry, I have had to remove her name as she could still be alive.

          Yes my grandfather is Anthony Henry Brian Clark - born March 1937 Died November 2018

          I have his mother and fathers marriage certificate - they married June 1934 in Cherston, Cambridgeshire.

          Rose’s full name on the marriage certificate is Rose Emily Charlotte Saunders. To my knowledge she did remarry to william and my nan was lead to believe they had a child together. I know Rose was living in wales at the end of her life. died in 1973 according to ancestry.

          In regards to Female Clark, may be possible because again there is a rumour of another sibling.

          Sorry, as above have had to remove her name until we find out if she is still alive or deceased.

              Rose appears to have died in 1980 in Haverfordwest - not 1973

                  Sorry yes, I realise now that I was looking for the wrong Arthur. Can you tell us please, on the marriage cert of Arthur and Rose, what does it give as his father's name and occupation?

                      So Arthur George Clark b 1907 was on 1939 reg and assume (unless divorced) that he died before Rose remarries in 1946.

                      He would have been 32 at start of the war, I assume he would have volunteered, that was too old for conscription, any idea what forces he joined?

                            Not necessarily ........... my uncle was born in 1895, fought through WW1, was injured, and was still liable for call-up in 1939/1940 until he managed to find a Store Keeper's job in a "restricted occupation" factory. That was apparently due to my father's help ............. he was working in a restricted occupation at the factory, heard they wanted a store keeper, told his brother and Harry got the job.

                            But he would have been around 45 at the time.

                              I have read and re read this - and not sure I understand - his fathers name is also Arthur George Clark a greengrocer? and the bridegroom Arthur G is 28 at marriage, so year of birth maybe 1906 and not 1907 as on 1939 register. any clues from the witnesses?

                              People get year wrong but not maybe month?

                                Please confirm the occupation of the father of Arthur G.

                                I can see a possible birth but the father of that Arthur G b 1907 was a Harness Maker

                                  Interesting - I can't see any of my 'older' ancestors were conscripted, will ask Mum and Dad why their parents weren't called up.

                                  I did have a hunt around, I know my Dad wasn't conscripted until 41 making him 19. he said he waited to be called and didn't volunteer! Pages I read said first conscripts were 20 - 22, but just found wiki page and that says different...so it must be true hee hee. Does seems as though initially it was youngsters called up and then more and more people were conscripted in 41 and 42

                                    no problem, confirms my lack of understanding wasn't so silly. We should be able to find him in 1911 census.

                                      found this on Ancestry, no father so pretty sure not right. Grandfather came from Bedford so not miles away from Cambridge....

                                      and as GR has it this I think, so before May
