Tony Clarke's First Cousins

This site contains information and documents about the forebears of Roger Anthony Clarke b. 5 Oct 1949, and Carole Judith Waters (nee Clarke) b. 1 Jan 1955.

This page contains the known first cousins on his father's side to Tony Clarke, and his siblings Fred, Enid, Kath and Ken.
