I am unable to find any definitive leads to this family. They do not seem to appear on any census records as a family. Any assistance would be very appreciated. I am wondering if they had lived somewhere other than England.
Parents: John and Fanny Clare ( maiden name unknown) Willow.
Children: Fanny born c.1854; Louise born c.1855; Evelyn born c.1858 and Emily born 10.3.1860 (death certificate says born in Brighton, England)
Family story says John was considerably older than Fanny Clare and died "when children were quite young"???
Fanny Clare married again to Thomas John Lucas, born 1826 in Devon.
Thomas Lucas, a captain in Cape Mounted Rifles was medically discharged from them possibly around 1861-2. He died at his home in Notting Hill, Kensington in late October 1879.
It appears that Fanny Clare died in early 1879. Her age was given as 42 (birth year 1836?) meaning she was about 18 at the time of Fanny's birth.
The 3 older daughters, all unmarried, emigrated to South Australia in 1879 (there are no official records for unassisted immigrants, if you are lucky they may appear on a passenger list published in the daily papers of the day - we are not so lucky).
Evelyn married Henry George Parker in Adelaide on 28 August 1880.
Emily joined her sisters in Adelaide in 1883. She arrived aboard the John Elder as a first class saloon passenger.
The family story also says that the girls all attended finishing school on the continent as their mother wished to travel with her new husband. Thomas Lucas is also said to have unsuccessfully tried farming in New Zealand for a short while.
A cousin of my mother claimed there was also a brother, James, who "ran away from Eton, put his age up, joined the armed forces and was never heard from again". I am not sure about the reliability of this piece of information.
I thank you in advance for any you may be able give on this subject :-)
