My grandfather was Harry Aubrey CLARKE who may have been born in 1883. He married Edith Gertrude POOLE on Xmas Day 1904 at St Andrews Romford. I believe he owned one or more butchers shops in Romford, possibly one being in South Street. He was a pigeon fancier and he was used by the Armed Forces in WW1 to supply carrier pigeons. He died in December 1945 aged 62 in Chipping Ongar. I have copies of his marriage and death certificates but cannot find any trace of his birth. His father was also Harry and a butcher but was described as deceased on Harry Aubrey's marriage certificate. I know nothing of any siblings and none of his surviving children can tell me anything about him, a man of mystery! If anybody has any information I would be absolutely thrilled.
