Hi All,

I am hoping to trace any relatives descended from my second cousins AMY &
MARY CLARKE.

Amy (born c1903) and Mary (born c1904) CLARKE emigrated from GLOUCESTER in
the UK, arriving on 14 March 1925 in Melbourne aboard the ship Balranald.
Passenger lists show:
Clarke. Mary Domestic F 21 S England British
Clarke. Amy Domestic F 22 S England "

Mary worked 'in service' in Melbourne first at Carmyle Avenue TOORAK. By
1927 she was at 22 Wilis St, MALVERN (possibly with a family DODDS) and
later at 321 Glenferry Rd. Malvern.

I presume that Amy was also in service; Mary's letters tell us that she
(Amy) married and was living at OAK PLAINS with her husband and his two
brothers. Amy had a daughter in 1927 giving birth at the Balranald Hospital.

Mary became engaged to 'Arthur' in late 1927. Little is known of him other
than he had a married brother in TRAWALA ( Letters also mention 'Arthur's
married brother in BALLARAT' - could be another brother or the same one in
a different place)

Does anyone know anything about them?
