Thank you again. We have checked all the MI's in the books we have, but IF he was killed during WW1 he would not appear as MI. Unfortunately no one, in the family, seems to know a given name so it is hard to link any one. Mary M was researching the Clarkes of Peel, and I had hoped she might come up with a given name that might unlock the problem, or the marriage, then check war memorials. you can see I am getting desparate. Thanks for your help, Colin.
