Hi I am doing some research on a Clarke family for a friend of mine and wondered if there might be a connection?
Edward Clarke b.1807 Hereford married Jemima Blanche Chapman 1828 St Mary's Portsea. Their first child Edward Boynton Clarke was born in Portsmouth in 1831 and baptised at St Thomas Portsmouth. 2nd child William Henry Clarke was born 1833 Wymering & died 1834 Wymering. 3rd son John William Clarke born 1836 Wymering (this is my friends Great Grandfather) Next child was born 1839 in Woolwich, so sometime between 1836 & 1839 they left Wymering.
Last Sunday I was in the Portsmouth area and managed to find Wymering Church, as well as the cemetery opposite. Where I found William Henry Clarke's gravestone, though was unable to read much more than his name!
Do you recognise any of these names as being part of your family and do you know whether details of the graves have been recorded by anyone?
Regards
Barbara Wyatt

In 1881 James Weeks and his family were on Alderney and James was a Captain in the Militia. At that point they had seven daughters one of whom was Emily Sophia. (see http://www.familysearch.org)
The 1891 census shows the family (now increased by two sons) in Portsea. The eldest Ann does not show in the household and maybe had married by then.
James's daughter Eleanor Marion (sister to Emily Sophia) was my grandmother and married Charles Johnston. They spent 20+ years in India until he died in 1926. Marion returned to England and gave her residence as Teddington in Middlesex but we have been unable to find any trace of her there or since.
