Thanks for that.....not done any work on this for a long while, your reply has got me going on this topic again.....still not found a death for Samuel Clarke senior, after nearly ten years looking.....I wonder if your relative knew our relatives ? it would seem more than likely......if anyone has any information on the Clarke family, I would be glad to hear from them......Del.

Bit of a long shot this, but does anyone have, or know where I could obtain any photos of Cranemen, at Ardrossan docks ?........looking for one person in particular, Head Craneman Hugh Joseph Clarke, probably know to one and all as ''Josey''......timescale would be mid 1940's to 1960's..........as I said, a long shot......but you never know......Del.

With Hughie's post bringing this topic to life again, just wanted to say that I have still not found a death for Samuel Allan Clarke's father, Samuel snr. Although this was most likely in Ireland, if anyone has ANYTHING of interest, I would be most pleased to hear it............Del.

Hughie, Thank you for that, I see that Samuel's second name is spelt ALLEN, not ALLAN, very interesting.....one more thing, I have Sam and Jessie's deaths in Saltcoats, I assume that is where the photo was taken ?........Del.

If we accept that the Jenny listed below, adopted the name Jessie (after her mother) then she was indeed my grandfather Robert Boyce's sister. Haven't done any research for many years now, so can't add to that. :(

Hughie, Thanks for that, I have not done any research myself for a while, just gone back to it, and was going through old posts, Samuel Clarke is proving very difficult to find, at least his death is, no-one in the family seems to know what happened to him.....maybe one day.....thanks again, Del.

Hughie, Been a while since we communicated on this, am I right in thinking that Jessie Boyce was your grandfathers sister ? I still have not got any further with finding out what happenred to Samuel Clarke, he was Jessie's husbands father, she had siblings Robert, Bella ?? and John......Regards Del.
