My Dad was Thomas Clarke, born in Chiwsick in 1936. His Dad was John (Joseph?) Clarke, and his Mum was Beatrice Maude, or Maude Beatrice (Spears/Spiers). My grandfather came from ire, but married and English girl. They had 5 sons and one daughter. the kids, inc my Dad, were orphaned in 1944. My Dad was fostered by Queenie Bryant, and later by Julie and John Ranger. Julie Ranger is my grandfather's sister. Da's siblings are/were: Peter, Patrick, Eddie, Jack, Michael, Betty. Betty married John Wilson, and the last I heard they were living in Northolt. Can anyone fill in the (many) gaps? My Dad married mary Clarke and emigrated to S Africa in 1970. many thanks
