I was a Clarke, but my family as far as I know, aren't related to you. There was another family of Clarkes on the next street they were no relation to us either, but Idon't know what happened to them. Sorry

I used to work with a load of Clarkes at Abrafract in Hillsborough, there was Janet, Martina and Concepta, all of Irish descent, only met their parents once and cant remember their names. All around my age (45+)

They had a couple of other sisters as well. Still see Janet occasionally - she sells abrasives.

Hi pigeon, I was a Clarke, (till I married) and came from Grimesthope. Where in Grimesthorpe did you live, we had an uncle live at the top of our street and an Uncle Tom up near the club. Geotom is my brother. A cousin and his family used to live on Wansfell road. If you are related to Brian or Tom then we could be related.

Hi Pigeon, My Uncle Tom's son was Tom, as well. Do you have an Aunties called Gladys & Betty. I wish I could remember the name of the street Uncle Tom lived on. Just thought was your Grandmother called Charlotte (Lottie for short). We could continue this on the Grimesthorpe Thread.

Hi Pigeon, I'm sorry to hear about Betty, I must ask my mum if she knows. It must be about three or four years since I spoke to your dad, we bumped into him at Wentworth nurseries. I was recently looking at a photo of your Grandad, Uncle Henry and my dad (Uncle Len). Give your dad my regards.

Hi Pigeon, that's right I'm Irene. When I asked mum she said she didn't know,but her memory is going a bit, unfortunately, if I ask her again she may say yes she did know, that is how it is. Unfortunately Brian has now gone too, mum is the last of her generation, that is why I'm asking questions, about the family, your Grandad may have talked about his dad to his family (do you know what I mean). My dad never knew his dad, but possibly Uncle Tom talked about him to your dad. I've talked to Evelyn and she loaned me her wedding photos, they had grandma Clarke on., and my mum has got a picture of my grandad Clarke, my sister's boy looks a lot like him. Give my regards to your mum & dad.

Hi paul0726, now I'm even more cnfused, so who is your mother? sorry I'm a bit thick at the moment, would that be Betty or Gladys?

Hi geotom, I'm taking a guess here, but I think Paul0726, is Gladys' son, going on the fact that he says his location was Attercliffe in the 60s. I think he has an older brother Micheal, am I right Paul?

paul0726

Hi Paul, That was good reckoning on my part. Give my regards to your mum, and perhaps you could ask her if My Uncle Tom(your granddad) ever talked about his dad, and was he born at Southwell Rd.

geotom

hi paul0726, I can remember Michael, sorry didn,t know he had a brother.
Best regards to you all, remember me to them.
