I have been unable to find any records apart from Birth and Baptism for William Benjamin Cluer born 1893. Parents are William Charles Cluer and Elizabeth Ward. William had an older Sister Elizabeth born 1891. I had checked other spellings of Cluer as there are some mis spelt ( ex Clier) Most of the Cluer family are from London regions Islington and Newham /Eltham. Many Thanks for any help you can give Regard Pam

Thanks for all replies I have been looking for his death since then ( Don't seem to be able to find a marriage ) Kind Regards Pam

I can't find a marriage or death or him on the 1911.

Can't even find his parents on the 1911.

Possible for William Snr - the address is wrong - on the image it is 67 Kingsdown Rd; in the column "Nature of Qualification" it has Dwelling House (Successive) and in the column "Description of Qualifying Property" it has, bracketed together 83 Wessex Building, Wedmore St and 67 Kingsdown Rd (Ground Floor)


London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
William Charles Cluer
Year:1909
County or Borough:Islington
Ward or Division/Constituency:Islington North
Street address:07 Kingsdown road

Can't find him at either address in 1911

Could this be his mother Elizabeth's death??

Deaths Jun 1905 (>99%)
CLUER Elizabeth 33 Midhurst 2b 287
NB - I think the last number is 237 not 287 !)

It is suggested on an Ancestry tree that Charles Snr. remarried to a Caroline Amelia Brett around 1905, though I can't find a marriage.

I believe this would be them on 1911?

Maybe his son was the informant

Stepson on 1911 is 'Poulton' and this marriage would fit with Caroline Amelia Brett being married to a 'Poulton':

You are correct about Caroline Amelia Brett but they never actually married and I also know about the Poulton family. It is William Benjamin that I cant find after age 8. Thanks for everyone trying Would have thought his death would be there somewhere Regards Pam
