Emily Clarke

[Happy]

Can anyone help me find where and when my relation Emily Clarke nee Thompson died and was buried. Her last known address in 1896 was Delavan, Wisconsin, USA.
She was born in 1870 in Cambridgeshire, England. Her husband was William Thompson, he died in 1903 in Elkhorn, Walworth, Wisconsin at the age of 38 and buried in Delavan, Wisconsin.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Colin, what type of information are you looking for, do you have them on any census at all Colin

Hello Julie
The only facts i have is, she married William in 1891 in Walworth, Wisconsin, USA, and lived in Delavan in 1896 but can`t find where she died

Do you know if they had any children?

[Darksecretz]

you had me confused abit there then Colin...

Emily Clarke nee Thompson

[Darksecretz]

right, I think I have found her on the 1900 census, in Elkhorn, Walworth.

she is with William and their 5 children

[Elaine ..Spain]

I wonder if she remarried.
The 1910 US census shows an Emily Obrien born 1870 England, living with spouse John J Obrien. Also living with them is Betey (Betsy) Clark aged 75, shown as mother-in-law.
Address at the time is Delavan Ward 1, Walworth, Wisconsin.

Year of immigration for both Emily and Betsy shown as 1873.

Emilys emigration is given as 1874, she married in 1890 according to the census, William is given as born in New York, and his occupation is a Farmer, if you PM me with your email addy I will forward the image onto you.

that does look VERY promising, esp as she was widowed in 1903?

Looking for the children in 1910 ..

Possibles
Clara B Thompson born c 1900 - inmate - Milwaukee Ward 18, Milwaukee, Wisconsin - St Roses Orphan Asylum
Julia Thompson born c 1896 - inmate - Milwaukee Ward 18, Milwaukee, Wisconsin - St Roses Orphan Asylum

.. not sure on the others at the moment (just checking) or even if these are the ones we are looking for but thought it might be worth making a note!

[Darksecretz]

oooh so did she remarry and abandon the children? or did she die?

[Elaine ..Spain]

Colin, can you tie the mother-in-law Betsy Clarke born c1835 England into the family - that would help with regards to the 1910 census which I found.

[Happy]

Thanks all,
This information will be a big help, but still need her death records

[Happy]

Elaine,
Betsy was Emily`s mother

[Elaine ..Spain]

Elaine,
Betsy was Emily`s mother

So the 1910 census looks a possibility in which case we are looking for a death of Emily Obrien, rather than Emily Thompson.
