Sorry.

I have no idea what that is but I found this on the document:

rg10/915 I think, not very clear. Page number 29. No of schedule 135. Dont know if that helps or not.

Will have to go to bed in a mo. Little one has just woken up so need to sort her out. Sorry.

Well. I spent a half hour trying to find that image at Ancestry the other night, to absolutely no avail! Ancestry shows three districts for Aylesford, and at least one of them seems to be missing pages. I got myself into a boggle over it and gave up. ;)

Good fortune that you were looking somewhere else!

It seems that only the birth certificate will tell which Clarke girl was JGC Jr's mother.

Still nothing to update!

Looks like I will have to buy John George jnrs birrth certificate.

Ive been trying to find baptism record because Luton, Kent is on Medway City Ark but no luck yet!

Might be a while before I can let everyone know results.

Breakthrough at last, thanks to a fellow genes member. Thanks for all your help Brian!!!

John George Jnrs Mum was Charlotte Margaret Clark and even better news John George Carruthers snr did marry her.

The reason i couldnt find the marriage is because they married in Sunderland where John George comes from & I was looking where Charlotte came from. They married in 1865 but the sad news is Charlotte died in Dec 1869. Im still investigating that bit. Maybe as suggested by Brian she died during childbirth. I guess only the death cerificate will confirm this. I could just check the baptism records to see if another child survived around her death date although not had much luck finding John George Jnrs baptism in Luton records at medway city ark. Found Charlotte & her siblings ok though.

All this is thanks to a kind genes member, so thanks ever so much again Brian. He has helped me with a lot more Carruthers too.

It looks like John George Snr moved away once the decision was made for the Clark Grandparents to bring up John George Jnr & he married again & had more children.

Maybe with everything that happened, losing his Mum & his Dad moving away & starting another family was the reason John george Jnr went back to using his mothers surname of Clark. I wonder if he ever sorted things out with his Dad. I guess that wont be recorded down anywhere.

Well thanks everyone for your help. I never would have found all this without all your kind help.

So ... as I said on the previous page:


Richd Clark 42
Martha Clark 42
> Charlotte Clark 16
> Mary Clark 11
> Martha Clark 9
Zeberier Clark 8
Thos Clark 6
Racht Clark 4
Joseph Clark 3
Amy Clark 2 Mo
John Natt 17

One of those girls has to be the mother of John George Carruthers born 7 years later, in 1868. Or there could have been an older daughter not in the 1861 household.



And Charlotte it was.
