Tofts 5.07 pub bar booze music folkestone :: [comment] :: [delete]

I was a founder member of Wilde Flowers along with my brother Hugh Hopper, Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers and later included Dave & Richard Sinclair. We were based in Canterbury and were the originators of the 'Canterbury Sound' which later spawned two successful bands: Soft Machine and Caravan. As Wilde Flowers we played many gigs in the mmid-sixties in Kent and Sussex and London and at Tofts we had a regular slot and it was one of our favourite venues especially as we supported a lot of big name artists - Brian

Clarke Family of Wymering

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
