"James married Elizabeth Murphy in 1914 in the Church of Our Lady of Reconciliation, in Eldon Street, Vauxhall. They set up home in Elizabeth Terrace and had 13 children"

Searching trees for James Clarke born Guyana brings up one tree owner.

Oh thank you this is it yes he married Elizabeth Murphy looking how I can find their parents don't know where to starts x

my great granddad stowed away from btitish Guyana I have no idea how im going to track him down he was 11 when he arrived that may not even be his name
