John Clarke

Gender
Male

John Clarke was born in County Louth between 1865 & 1872.  His father, Patrick, was a farmer, possibly in the Kilcurry area.  John is believed to have had at least two siblings, Bridget (known as Bridgie) and possibly Michael.

John moved to Liverpool circa 1899 and married Mary Jane Lavelle. He was a Marine Fireman. The couple had eight children, Catherine, John, Thomas, Patrick (my dad), twins Michael & Mary, Ellen and Margaret. Thomas & Michael both died in infancy.

John was my grandfather and I would love to hear from any Clarke descendants.

Louth, or Lú in Irish, is located in the north-east of Ireland.  It is known as “The Wee County” because it is the smallest county in Ireland.  We are home to Brù Na Bóinne (Palace of the Boyne) which is an internationally important complex of Neolithic chamber tombs.  We have a population of approximately 122,897.  We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
