Charles Clark immigrated to Australia with his wife Elizabeth nee Tolliday and infant daughter Jane. The ship British Empire left Southhampton on 17th October 1854 and arrived at Point Henry, Geelong, Victoria on 15th January 1855.

Other Tolliday family members travelled as well. Including his mother in law Jane, sister in law Christiana, brothers in law John and William, John's wife Sarah their two little girls Fanny and Eva.

Charles was listed as being 22 years of age at the time of the voyage and his occupation was AG Labourer. His wife Elizabeth was 21 and their daughter was listed as an infant. So less the 2 years old.

He is listed as being born on 20th September 1829 in Cambridge, Cambs., Eng. He married Elizabeth Tolliday on 12th January 1853. They had nine children. His death date listed as 24 September 1892 at Scarsdale. He was buried at the Smyhthesdale Cemetery on September 26th.

Benjamin Thomas Clark is his father and Ann Leaford Shuker is his mother. The dates fit with in 2 years of dates I have for the voyage of 1854 and the area listed as St Giles, Cambridgeshire is also where the Tollidays lived.
