John Clare 4/01/12
Hello John, Thank you for answering, we have a photo of John Coughron Clare as well in his full dress uniform with epaulettes and his white beard.It was given to me by my Aunty Cherrie who lived in London. I have printed off the Internet a Biography of Chapman James Clare (1853-1940) who would be Coughron Clare's son and Sarah Clare presumably, his sister my Great Grandmother who married JOSEPH HAY who pasted away in 1894. Sarah Clare had two children John Robert Clare Hay who had 6 children 2 boys and 4 girls one of whom is still alive at 92 (Aunty Beatrice) living in Adelaide.My Father was the second son and about 10 years when his father died. He was Robert Claude Hay (look him up on the Internet). The second child Margaret Hay never married and stayed with her mother.Sarah Clare passed away the year I was born 1938.She took Aunty Cherrie back to London with her and Aunt stayed and married over there.We never knew how many children Coughron Clare had.
