Maybe the PHP 4 to 5 will go more smoothly than I thought...

If all has gone according to plan, www.claremahon.com should now be serving up pages using PHP5, while www.clarkeology.com and www.folkestonegerald.com are still on PHP4. Pages like this Harry Clarke page or wiki style searches like this are using PH...

An elusive item for all fans of the Clarke Family

This looks interesting, an invitation to a preview of a retrospective of the works of David Clarke, son of Harry Clarke and Margaret Clarke. If you can have such a thing as a preview to a retrospective.You are bidding for a paperback exhibtion previe...

The sister-in-law's waters have just broken

This is a medical term that is related in some way to having a baby apparently. This means we're likely to have a new niece this afternoon, we'll call in to see her on our way to Canterbury for lunch tomorrow, I think she's in Ashford. This new niece...

Tales of mystery and imagination

No family tree updates for a little while, though I'm off to investigate The Grants of Winterbourne Stoke again in case I missed anything before, one of my great great great grandfathers is there. In the mean time, here's a smashing super rare copy o...

Belated weekend roundup

Weekend start sort of badly, and then sort of worse, and then actually got going really very well indeed. Train home hit some kind of delay, caused by some kind of delay on another train. That's as much detail as we've come to expect in the non expla...

Harry Clarke at the V&A

Well spotted Mum and Dad, there is a Harry Clarke at the Victoria and Albert museum:Harry Clarke was one of the great masters of 20th-century stained glass. He trained in his father's studio and at the Metropolitan Art School in Dublin, which gave hi...

Yeah, they were so proud to have me on board...

No, Clare's grandmother's maiden name was Clarke, her Grandfather changed it from Clark when he moved to Ireland. So they're originally Clarks, and we wer enot previously related......

Fry!

Always nice to see Stephen Fry on TV, the wife especially loves him. Interesting show about bipolarity too, I assume it's a series, and that all the normal working class people with depression who are not millionaires on cocaine will be featured in f...

Excitement for this week:

Hmm, so far not much. I am mostly pinning my hopes on one job offer that I'm expecting to hear back from any minute now. It's a really good fit for my skills and experience, I only hope I don't get "gazumped" by someone offering to do the job for hal...

Original Harry Clarke artwork

I was just browsing ABE Books for Harry Clarke, as I knew they had some signed first editions and things, albeit at high prices. So what's the most expensive thing on there I wondered? Only this original water colour of The Emperor's New Clothes, thi...

Where did summer go?

Crap weather today, I am almost jealous of everyone we know who is off on holiday right now... took a windy bus ride into Canterbury today for a lovely yasai chilli men at Wagamama, and a bit of shopping and pubbing. Got hugely delayed on the way hom...

I am here

Just been a bit busy with I don't know what. Fending off a few jobs and interviews and things, and then also hanging around the shops like other unemployable Folkestone delinquents.Yesterday I drove the in-laws to Gatwick, and nearly got in trouble w...

Clarkes in the National Portrait Gallery

Just searching for Sir Fred Clarke, who seems to be related to the wife's family but not to our Clarkes, and I'm not sure if this is him in the National Portrait Gallery or not, but here's a list of other Clarkes who are. Hold your mouse over their n...

Copy cat

Gene Simmons breathing fire at a recent KISS show to launch a new casino:Also today I'm officially PISSED OFF with technology - while transferring all the weekend pictures from the camera (including both our birthday nights out, and Jenny's hen night...

Baby baby, where did our weekend go?

Aciton packed weekend, yet again quite literally TWO daytime trips out of the house that were not just to the shop or the pub, what is going on? We had such a full weekend that I had just about no time for larking about on the computer or even sittin...

She's about as Irish as I am

Clare's a Mahon, her dad is Irish, he's got the accent and everything. His great uncle is famed Irish artist Harry Clarke, that surname is just coincidence though, no relation to me (apart from now by marriage). Future generations of genealogists are...

Bridget Clarke Bridget Clarke Bridget Clarke!

My wife's grandmother is Bridget Clarke, no blood relation to me (I am Paul Clarke), the names are just a coincidence. So, sorry Bridget, you are not the only Bridget Clarke in the world, I'm afraid it's a very common name......

Woo!

The Clarke family tree and the Mahon family tree are now linked, since Clare and I got married on the 12th August... tree pages still to be updated!Please note really important if you're looking at this page for Clare you'll see there's not much fami...

A different Harry Clarke

We have three Harry Clarkes, but I don't think this is any of them. This Harry Clarke we have details for, he was born in 1856. He had a son, also called Harry, we have no dates for him, but he must have been born before his father died in 1951. His ...

Thanks for this

I realised my mistake as soon as I'd mailed you, this is Sonny Mahon...I'll update Clare and she'll update the tree - any chance you could email in any dates and places of births for anyone we don't have? We won't put it on the site for those still l...

Sonny MAHON

Dear Paul, Sonny mahon is not Clare's great grandfather. He is the oldest brother of her grandfather "Christie"; or if you like her father's uncle. He lived in Galway all his life, as did his sisters Mamie and Kathleen. His brother "Christie...

Clare has a relative called Maime Mahon I think

Here's Maime Mahon, part of the Mahon family tree...

Curry and Mouse Poo

TOP curry yesterday, went to Tayyab near Whitechapel, very good, queued right out the door, which makes a change from all the hustling you get on Brick Lane... had a few pints before in The Ten Bells, also well recommended.Note to self: Never, ever g...

Mahon Family Tree here...A work in progress. See Clare Mahon, the artist Harry Clarke, or see all names in the tree...If you're looking for the Clarke Family that are not related to this Harry Clarke, then we still might have what you're after - plea...

Clarks and Clarkes

Reassuring to see that THAT Harry Clarke comes from Clark stock, his father Joshua Clarke was born Joshua Clark, and changed his name when he moved to Ireland and converted to Catholicism. His father was Gilbert Clark, from Leeds, England.Confusingly...

Added some more Clarkes

Not our Clarkes though, this is Harry Clarke, the artist, he's a great grand uncle of Clare's.

Excitement

Did some work on Clare's family tree, she's related to Harry Clarke the artist, but not related to us. Also bought an IPOD (still waiting for it to be delivered) a very productive weekend.My new favourite curry house is the Anglo Asian on Stoke Newin...
