Born Henry Patrick Clarke. Educated Belvedere College and Dublin Metropolitan School of Art.

Harry Clarke was born on March 17th, 1889 in North Frederick Street, Dublin, where his father Joshuahad a decorating and stained glass business. While still at school with the Jesuits in Belvedere, Clarke showed promise in drawing and art and was described as a reserved and sensitive boy. He was apprenticed in 1905 for five years to his father's business while attending schools of art in Dublin and London for periods in between. By 1914, he had studied, exhibited, won a travelling studentship, and travelled to Paris and Chartres. His first stained glass commission was for the windows of the Honan chapel in University College Cork, which was completed in 1917. Between 1917 and his early death in 1931, in spite of ill health, he carried out over forty commissions for churches in Ireland, Great Britain and elsewhere. One of his most famous works is the Geneva Window, commissioned by the state for the International Labour Building of the United Nations.

Don't forget we have Clarkes in Paul's tree and Clarkes in Clare's family tree too. the wife's great-grandmothers maiden name was Clarke. There is no connection that we can find so far, no we were not related before we were wed... It is a jolly common name so good luck if you are also tracing your Clarke family tree...
