I am trying to get information on my late Father's siblings. He was Charles Edwin Clarke born 21 May 1893 at 13 Sylvan Grove, London.

I have some census information which shows the following;

Clara Clarke, born 13 Sept. 1886
Leonard Clarke, born c 1897
Jessie Clarke and Mabel Clarke - two sisters that I never heard my father talk about.. I know that Clara had a son called Percy, but that is about the limit of my information.

I would love to get more information about them, and if I am very lucky, perhaps there are descendants out there somewhere.

I have had such a lot of help from people on this site - so many generous people. I will give back whatever I can!

I am so sorry, I have only now realised that I didn't thank you for the suggestion you made. I now have a subscription to the 1911 census, and hope to find them all there, though it is possible that they might be in employment elsewhere.

Anyway, once again, thank you for your help.

Thank you to everyone who contributed information on my family. Some of it I already had (but it's great to have confirmation from others) but some of it is completely new to me. I should add that I eventually found Leonard as Alfred Albert Leonard, his marriage, as well as Clara's marriage.

Many, many thanks to all of you.
