October 18th, 1866 - The birth of my 2nd Great-Grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Clare at 8 Copenhagen Place, Limehouse, Middlesex, England. The daughter of Isaac William Clare and Jane Caroline Walker. Isaac was working as a Labourer at Galvanized Iron Works.

Her mother's middle name seems to switch back and forth between Catherine and Caroline. I know from her birth record, death record,. and Sarah's and her sister Jane's baptism records it is Caroline. But on Sarah's birth record you can see it was written as Catherine. Of course, Sarah's sister is registered as Jane Catherine but baptised as Jane Caroline. I suspect this is do to some confusion with the two similar but not identical names. Either on Isaac William Clare's part or the minister's or registrant's. Unfortunately it is something that I will never actually know
