Eliza Cain nee Clarke born in Sunbury is very probably related to the Clarke families who are
living nearby. There are various indications, however I have not yet found her baptism so
this is conjecture. It is interesting to note all the Clarke property they have collected between
them just in case they are my ancestors. Part of my fascination is due to unexpectedly finding
I am living where they lived and looking at my surroundings with new eyes.
