PATRICK at least came to Sunderland England prior to 1861 census and married MARIA GIBSON in 1866. There were 2 daughters MARY and SARAH JANE and 4 sons JOHN , BARTHOLOMEW, PATRICK and MICHAEL at far as I know.

Could there be a connection? As far as I remember, my grandfather was named after his grandfather and the name Micheal has run through that side of the family ever since. Apparently, the family's orginal name was Cleary, they changed it to Clark when they moved to england to make it easier to get work. Regards. Jacqui.
