Clarke family
Hi everyone, I am looking for a CLARKE family from County Tyrone. Thomas Clarke was born around 1797 as we know he fought in "The battle of Waterloo". Rebecca was born 1815 in County Derry. They married in 1833. They had 4 sons born in 1840,1842, John born 1844, and William born 1850. Rebecca came to New Zealand with sons John & William in 1865 on the Dauntless, for the Waikato Immigration Scheme. We don't know what happened to Thomas, presume he died before hand. They settled in Tuakau, Auckland. Rebecca died in August 1890 Tuakau and her 4 sons were still alive, according to the death certificate. I am a descendent of William. I just wonder if the other 2 sons stayed in Ireland. Thomas was a farmer. William & John farmed in Tuakau AKL NZ. Thanks.
