I am a new subscriber to FamilyTreeCircles and just left a posting regarding my Thomas Clarke of Heart’s Desire and his daughter Prudence or when she was baptized again in Catholic with her infant sister Elizabeth, she was baptized as Mary Prudence. It would seem the was the child of a previous marriage as she was born 11 June 1856. Baptism Catholic 5 June 1870 by Fr J O’Conner. A note beside her stated a Wesly. In any event I posted a lengthy note more detailed but can’t find it now. I would like to know the name of Thomas Clarke’s first child. Of note Thomas Clarke was baptized Methodist in 1840. I just presume first wife must have been Methodist too. Once Thomas married wife #2 Elizabeth Clare, all children from then on are raised Catholic. They seemed to have stayed in the Heart’s Desire area. I have seen some of their headstones in the Catholic cemetery there By 1873 Prudence left Heart’s Desire and married Alfred Sooley. Prudence Clarke Sooley died 1933. Buried in CoE cemetery Heart’s Content. Would love to know who her mother is Thank You
