Find Ancestors

Hi

Can anyone help me out in finding out Philip Clare's parents? He was born in 1806 Norfolk his wife was Elizabeth (children - philip, richard, hannah, mary, robert, amy, elijah, benjamin and jane)

Not sure where in Norfolk he was born but the family stayed in the same area for generations after him so could have connections to Flegg, Blofield, Ranworth.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Yep thats the one. Think I've tried searching for Ranworth births/baptisms before but he doesn't come up. Maybe Philip wasn't his first name?

Yeah that makes sense. If thats Philip's father then that makes sense as Philip senior's grandson (also named Philip to confuse things even more) went on to marry into the London family.

No wife with dad in 1841

Thanks, Judith must be his daughter so will try looking for her birth/baptism.

Joy - think i've got them but thank you!
Yes I saw that but there are several Philip Clare deaths in Blofield so I'm not sure who is who.

You're welcome :)

May be Philip senior's baptism here in 1779

Not Dad Philip's marriage but must be related

Think I've found Philip Snr and his wife! Thanks everyone for the help :)

record title: England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
name: Judith Clere
gender: Female
birth date: 11 Jan 1809
birthplace: Ranworth With Paxworth, Buckenham, Norfolk, England
father's name: Philip Clere
mother's name: Hannah Gibbs

Pork Pie - yes could be a relation. Can't see where in my tree yet though. To be honest that part of norfolk is filled with Clare/Clere's. If I could piece together who's who I think I'd have thousands of them!

A popular surname in the area :)

"My" Philip senior's parents are Robert and Catharine.
However there is a burial for a Catharine wife of Robt.

Yes I think you were right with Philip snr's parents being robert and catherine. Also fairly sure that the marriage is right too. A big thank you for all the help!

Just stumbled upon this thread. I have Philip Clare bap 13 Jun 1779 Ranworth married to Hannah Gibbs, 18 Apr 1804 at Horning, Norfolk. Hannah Gibbs was bap 23 Jan 1781 at Horning. Her parents were Samuel Gibbs and Mary Saul. Hannah's sister Judith born 1782 married Samuel Cole 26 Mar 1804 at Horning. Samuel and Judith were parents of Elizabeth Cole who married Philip Clare junior (born 1806). All rather cosy!
