Mary Clare Lancashire
I have just received a birth certificate for a Richard Whitfield born 29 August 1869 in Cadishead to a John Whitfield and Mary CLARE formerly URMSTON (a Housekeeper).On the IGI I have found a Mary Urmston marrying a Joseph CLARE on 4 September 1848 at Manchester Cathedral.Does anyone know anything about this Mary CLARE or indeed her son Richard.I believe him to be my grandfather, it is even more interesting because when my grandfather married he said his father was Joseph, deceased.After several years of searching I have not found a Richard Whitfield born to a Joseph Whitfield and am now wondering if this is the connection.Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks and regards.Pauline Thomas in Dubai
