Hello Pam, I am researching my family tree.
Of interest to me are william and emma cleary.
They were sponsors for my late fathers baptism at southwark cathedral in 1926.
Dads parents were david john and florence hearne, nee bennett.
I am wondering if the william and emma cleary that you mention are the same ones that are recorded on my late dads baptism record.
The address given on the record is 14D Clapton Buildings.
When I followed up this address I was informed that there was no record of david john and florence hearne living there, indeed it was william and emma cleary.
Further research of the address lists children william, kathleen and annie may cleary.
It could be pure coincidence but the cleary names that I have very closely match the ones that you mention.
I am working on the belief that william and emma cleary were close friends of david john and florence hearne, who were married in 1919 at southwark registry office.
My dad was born in 1926 and was placed into the care of the crusade of the rescue in 1928, I am trying to establish what happened to my dads parents, my dad did try to trace them but with no luck.
Best Wishes.
