1873 - 1959  (85 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Arthur CLARE
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	12 Jan 1873	Reading, Berkshire, England
  	From 1911 census where shown as aged 38, the date also fits with the age on the marriage PR entry, shown as 36 GRO ref: Clare, Arthur q1 1873 Reading RD 2c 376; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Cooper Actual date shown as 12 Jan 1872; I am guessing date and month were correct but a year out.
  Gender	Male
  Occupation	1909
  	Musician in the Army
  	Shown as a Musician when he married, but as he was living in the R. E. Barracks I assume it was in the army. Shown as a 'retired musician' in the 1939 register in the 'personal occupation' column, but in the partially visible column with extra comments: 'Retired Army Pensioner LATE. 12234. srgt. R. E'
  Residence	1939	32, Trafalgar Street, Gillingham, Kent, England
  	Living with one other (entry closed at 20 Jan 2017) at the time of the 1939 register (Ref: RG101/1729D/002/33 Letter Code: DHRF)
  Died	Mar Q 1959	Gillingham, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: CLARE, Arthur q1 1959 aged 86 Chatham RD 5b 495 Actual place from the burial register
  Buried	16 Mar 1959	Woodlands Cemetery, Gillingham, Kent, England
  Origins
  Notes	(Research):An Arthur Clare married on Thanet in 1935, I did wonder if it was a second marriage of this Arthur, but the bride, one Alice G Stroud was probably one born on Thanet in 1913, making it unlikely, and no Alice G Clare died between 1935 and 1939 when Arthur appears in the 1939 register as a widower.

  Family	Mabel Gladys WOOLLEY,   b. Sep Q 1886, Sittingbourne, Kent, England ,   d. 27 Jan 1930, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, Rochester, Kent, England  (Age ~ 44 years)
  Marriage	Mar Q 1907	Medway Reg Dist, Kent, England
  	GRO ref: Woolley, Mabel Gladys to CLARE, Arthur q1 1907 Medway RD 2a 1024 This was a register office or non-conformist marriage. (from Guild Marriage Index)
  Married	17 Apr 1909	St. Mary Magdalene’s Church, Gillingham, Kent, England
  	Only one birth of a Mabel G Woolley in Kent before 1895 yet these 2 marriage references - clearly for some reason two marriages of the same couple, the only difference being the spelling of Arthur's surname - GRO ref: Woolley, Mabel Gladys to CLARE, Arthur q1 1907 Medway RD 2a 1024 and Woolley, Mabel Gladys to CLAIR, Arthur q2 1909 Medway RD 2a 1276 Details from PR entry for 2nd ref (image on CityArk, viewed 20 Jan 2017) The 1911 census shows that Arthur and Mabel had had no children by then, and the GRO index (original) has no Clare or Clair birth registrations in Kent with a mother's maiden name of Woolley, 1911-1930, nor any others in other counties likely to be of this couple.
  Family	This couple had no children together
