Name Rebecca Clarke Birth Bef 31 Oct 1852 Christening 31 Oct 1852 [1] Gender Female 
Siblings5 siblings Notes - ** The Index clearly shows Rebecca was baptised 31 Oct 1852 and that her mother was Eliza. But Eliza would have been 52 when she conceived. That's highly unlikely. And there's an 11 year gap between Rebecca and her next yougest sibling. I wonder whether this is a case of a grandaughter being recorded as a daughter for propriety's sake? All of the other children's ages are between 20 and 32 so Rebecca could have been the illegitimate child of any of them (but more likely one of the two girls.)
