Charlotte Reynolds/Clarke/Labat

Charlotte Reynolds was born to Peter Reynolds and Jane Rearns in Ireland birth c 1833 her family moved to Lancashire, England and Charlotte married Samuel James Clarke circa 1851. She gave birth to a son James Peter Clarke in 1851 in Lancashire. The family moved to Australia:
Samuel John Clarke born 1853 in Geelong, Australia - Margaret Jane Clarke born 1857 in Geelong, Australia - Charles Edward Clarke born 1858 in Geelong, Australia. Something went wrong in the marriage, no idea what, but Samuel James Clarke moved back to England and Charlotte stayed in Australia. There is a query regarding Charlotte and the local baker?! Her next child is Eugenie Labat Reynolds born 1860 - Mary Ann Labat Reynolds born 1861 - then Charlotte marries the local baker Francois Labat 19 Jul 1862 in Ballarat, Australia and has Jules Labat in 1863 Ballarat, Australia - Adolph Maximillion Labat born 1865 Ballarat, Australia. After about 1870 the Labat family disappear. I have tried to see if they came to England or went to France but I have found it very difficult to find out what happened to them from the time they left Australia

Can anyone help?

Clarke of Geelong Victoria Australia

Hello I am searching for what happened to James Peter Clarke he was born in Lancashire England in 1851 and travelled to Australia in 1852 with his parents Samuel James Clarke and Charlotte Reynolds. There were several children to the family but Samuel James Clarke left Charlotte Reynolds and went back to England approx 1862. Charlotte had already started to have children with Francois Labat the local baker and she married him in 1862. I have not been able to find out what happened to James Peter Clarke or his brother Charles Edward Clarke from 1862 they must have stayed in Australia with their mother. I found a James Peter Clarke in Sydney years ago but can't remember how I managed that, it must have been with the kind help of your volunteers.

Both James Peter Clarke (born 1851 Lancashire, England) and his younger brother Charles Edward Clarke (born 1858 Geelong Australia) eventually ended up in England but I would like to find if possible any school records, or some kind of records to show where they were between 1862 and adulthood

James Clarke and Charles Edward Clarke Geelong, Victoria

In my recent research I have hit a problem
Samuel James Clarke and his wife Charlotte Clarke (nee Reynolds) appear to have come to Geelong from England in 1852 with their young son James born c1851 they had 2 more children Margaret Jane b 1855 in Ashby and Charles Edward b 1858 in New Town (info gratefully received from Janilye & Tonkin on previous query)
The information collected said that Margaret Jane died in 1857. Through research back in England Samuel James Clarke came back to England around about 1862! but there is no sign of James or Charles Edward Clarke in England. He married again so presumably Charlotte his first wife has died? If she has, where are their children? James would only be about 9 or 10 and Charles Edward would only be about 3 or 4 years old
Can anyone work it out?
Regards
Nancy

James Peter Clarke

I am looking for a return to England passenger list for a James Peter Clarke born 1851 Lancashire, England who moved with his family (Samuel James Clarke & Charlotte Reynolds) to Victoria Australia in 1852 (Ballarat).

Looking for Clarke in Geelong

Hello
A few years ago some people on familytreecircles kindly helped me to find Charles Edward Clarke's parents. I am just wondering if any more records have come to light since then so that I can find out what happened to the children of Samuel James Clarke and Charlotte Reynolds. As far as I can find they came to Australia with a little boy James Peter Clarke who was born in 1851 in Lancashire, England. Then Samuel John Clarke was born in 1853 in Geelong but he died in 1857 in Geelong, then another child Margaret Jane Clarke born 1855 in Geelong but she died in 1857 and then my great grandfather Charles Edward Clarke was born in either 1857 or 1858 in Geelong

As far as I know James Peter Clarke stayed in Australia as well as Charles Edward Clarke but I am presuming that Charlotte must have died so who would have had the children? Samuel James Clarke came back on his own to England as far as I know and married someone else and had a daughter and lived in Lancashire.

I would be grateful for any help or pointers as to where to go and what to look for

thank you
