I've just started doing research on my 'roots' and was looking under my fathere's last name of Clare
(first name was Walter born 11/14/14) and saw your name!
What a shock! I live in New Jersey but was born and raised around Philadelphia. From what I have heard
is that part of my family came from England.
Good luck and would like to exchange info.

have you looked at famliy tree info
walter clare mentioned?

Hi my name is michelle clare and I live in England UK. I don't know any one with the last name clare except for my family so it's good to see that there are!

I have a query on the page for my grandfather.
William Harold Clare. Born in England
Came to Canada with wife and children.
Killed in W.W. 1. They lived on Harold Rd.
before coming to Canada.

Can you give any information further back? My family line is from Canada and earlier London England

Sorry David, I havn't been able to find out
any more yet. Have been looking. He married A
Annie L. Bottle in 1903 at Milton.

My great aunt Florinda O'Donovan(b.1876) m. Henry James Clare Feb 6 1895 in Whitstable,Kent. Henry was b. Aug 31 1871 and d. Oct 13 1953 in Los Angeles. One daughter I know of named Dorothy(1895 - 1943)m. Arthur Mower and became a Beverley Hills socialite in the 1930s.

I appreciate it is some time since a query was posted ,but have been engaged in my own family research. My wifes maiden name was Clare .She was brought up in Surbiton ,surrey after her parents were bombed out of flat in Lambeth ,London. I have done some research on Clare family , and hve found a line in Lambeth going back to Luvington,somerset in 1841. Incidentally her mother (Surname Smith) came from Westminster. Marion ,my wife has several relatives as well as two brothers carrying the Clare surname. Regards Terence Spencer
