Ellis Steele Clarke [20 May 2012]

Hi Gary, you asked why I was watching Ellis Steele Clarke. His son John Clifford married a descendant of my Pointon family and I was hoping to get more info about John and his descendants. If you have any, I would be very interested. Regards, Sharon.--Shaz1 05:02, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

Hi Sharon

John Cliffords Parents were Father Ellis Steele Clarke Born 3 Nov 1859 Mother Theresa Elliot born 18 Oct 1862

They had three children John Clifford Clarke Born 1889 Charlotte Eliza Clarke Born 1886 Frank Graham clarke Born 1893 .Frank was killed at Gallipolli in 1915 [1]

John clifford has 3 kids???? Ellis John Clarke 1917 Eric Arthur Clarke 1921 Gladys Daisy clarke 1932

Was your member of Pointon family married to one of the 3 above?

Now Ellis Steele clarke i think was 1 of 11 kids???? His Parents were Charles Clarke born 1820 in Rocklands Norfolk england and he died 1901 in Ulverstone, Tasmania, Australia Jane Steele born 1819 in Rocklands Norfolk England and she died in Penguin Tasmania Australia

The came to Australia on the 29th of June 1855 on the Montmorency arriving in Launceston. There was 8 of them Charles , Jane, Maltildah, Susan ,Henry, James, Anne and George(George Died at Sea) From what i know the settled around Zeehan and Penguin Tasmania.

Now Charles clarkes parents were James Clarke born 1786 Norfolk England Anne Houchins 1783 Great Ellingham Norfolk England The had 10 kids Charles , Robert, Stephen , Julia , Ellis, John , Mary ,Martha, Wiliam and Ruth

I have back to 1763 but i am unsure if its correct at the moment.

There is a book on the Clarkes [2]

This may help you to [3]

At Penguin Cemertery old section there are a number of Clarke graves Numbers mean plot number Stars mean Headstone

178 ** Clarke Jane wife of Charles =Jane Steele Born 1819 Died 4 Dec 1893 Penguin 178 ** Clarke Jane wife of Charles = Charles Clarke Born 1820 Died16 sept 1901 179 Clarke Henry = Born 1851 Died Nov 1 1893 200 ** Clarke Ellis = Born Jun 1st 1822 Died Aug 11 1903 His father is James Clarke and mother Anne Houchins 822 Clarke Matilda = Born 1839 husband of George Edwards 123 ** Edwards Matilda wife of George 167 Clarke Mr.Ellis Steel =Born 18 July 1860 died 1925? Parents were Charles and Jane Clarke 168 Clarke Mrs.Ellis = Maybe Theresa Elliot Born 1864 724 Mainwaring wife of William is Susan Clarke born 1842 Husband 724 Mainwaring William 209 ** Fielding Ann wife of James Born 1844 Approx Could be husband 210 ** Fielding James 95yrs 15.1.42 484 Truscutt John Henry is husband of Agnes Bertha Clarke where is Agnes?????? 534 ** Webster =Evelina Jane Clarke Born 6may 1862 die 1932 wife of Charlie 1932 maybe husband 533 ** Webster Charles 1936

I hope most of this information is correct maybe the odd mistake Any mistakes happy for you to point out to get it all right

Hi again Gary. John Clifford Clarke's wife was Lillie Elizabeth Holmes. Her mother was Louisa Eliza Pointon. I am descended from Louisa' brother, John Edwin. Their parents were convicts Frederick Pointon and Louisa Wright. I am working through including all of their descendants (that are no longer living) on the tree.Thanks very much for the names of John's children. Do you have any other info on them? The other info you have supplied is a bit remote for me to include in my tree as I still have lots of work to do on my, and my husband's, "cousins". Just a suggestion - why don't you put the other info you have on the Clarke family on this site? It can be a bit confusing to start off with, but it is not difficult once you get the hang of it. That's the beauty of this site - we can all work together to make a global tree. If you have already put info on this site, please don't be offended at my suggestion, but let me know if you want any help. Regards, Sharon.

Hi Sharon to hard to start another Tree on another sight lol

Will dig deeper for you and see what i can find on johns Children

Looking on Ancestry.com there is abit of info do you know the bloke in the picture?
