My name is Pamela Cleere . I am 50 years old. My father's name was George Marvin CLEERE. My father had 2 brothers that I know of Chester and Guy CLEERE. My father had a son named James Rayford CLEERE from a previous marriage before he married my mother Windall Faye HASS. I have never met my brother. He would be in his late 70s or 80s. My father lived in Texas from when I can remember but there may be some connections in Oklahoma. I am out of the country but when I return I can look thru records to get more information. If anyone knows of my brother or his children, I would love to hear from them. I can be reached at (see email above) subject: CLEERE

Researching CLEERE
QUERY: Hi there, my name is Nicholas Cleere and I am from Manchester, England. I was just browsing your site and I tried to look for the CLEERE coat of arms, although I could not find it. I was just wondering is there a Cleere coat of arms and if there is could you send me a picture of it or give me a site I could visit for it. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Nick
Until recently, all I had found for Coat of Arms had been for the various spellings as you saw listed on Cleere Coat of Arms (notice the URL where I found them). I did find another site with COA that says it's for CLEERE (www.bigwood.com/heraldry/Allgalls/Cgall/pages/CLEERE.htm) but it is so small, you would have to order it ($15) to really appreciate it. I wish I was able to find a larger CLEERE Coat of Arms to post to the site. --Nancy

Researching: CLAREY, CLEREY
QUERY: Greetings, I am hoping that someone may have information on or know of the following family:
My great grandmother was Frances CLAREY born about 1867 England. She had 4 Children: Mary 1893, Annie/Anne 1896, David 1899 and John Willie 1902. We have no information on the father of the children.
Frances CLAREY and the 4 children were in the Rotherham Workhouse England from 1906-1907 when she presumably left them. Mary and David left the workhouse in 1907, John Willie left in 1908 and Annie/Anne left in 1911.
David CLAREY was my grandfather we believed he was born Aug 3, 1899 in Rotherham England. After leaving the workhouse he went to a family by the name of DIXON and eventually ended up in Barnardo's. He emigrated to Canada in 1914 as a Barnardo Home Child. We don't know where the other 3 siblings went after they left the workhouse.
Recent discovery found at the Parish Church of Rotherham (Yorkshire) leads us to believe that David was registered under the last name of CLEREY. His mother is listed as Francis CLEREY a Widow. Birth of David is listed as 20 Jul 1899, christening 2nd Aug 1899. It is possible that this is a spelling error by the Parish Priest.
I have the birth certificate of David and it states he was born Aug 3, 1899 and the spelling of the last name is CLAREY. The Rotherham Archives that provided the information on his 3 siblings has the last name as CLAREY for Frances and David.
All the data on the Parish records of David CLEREY corresponds with the birth certificate of David CLAREY. We are trying to find a marriage of a Frances OLDHAM to an unknown CLEREY, possibly in the area of 1895. It is believed that the father CLEREY/CLAREY may have died between 1896 and 1899.
Would really like to find any relatives of David, Frances and the 3 siblings. And to fill some of the data in on the family. If you can help would you please email me. Thank you Debbie Lefebvre (nee CLAREY)

Comments: Hi Nancy - thanks so much for all the info. I am Neil F. CLEERE's sister and not too versed in geneology via internet. If you would like to add to my name which is already in your records, I was widowed from Del WATTERS, then married Richard Tod BURNS and we adopted 2 children: Brian Keith 9/12/68 and Janice Cathleen 3/3/70. Neil is having trouble with his FTM in that he can't add additional spouses - so I'm going to try to get everything in correctly.

Comments: I am researching the CLEERE Family of Oklahoma. My grandmother was Pearl CLEERE, born Oct, 1896, in Hevene, OK, the daughter of Luther CLEERE (an elusive personality) and married March, 1915, to Aubrey Ray BUCHANAN. They had two daughters, one of whom is my mother, now 81. I hope I can do the kind of detailed work you have shown in your descendent tree outline. I am just starting this enterprise and have no idea yet where it will take me, but I already suspect a link with the CLEERE's of Texas. Time will tell. I already have a great deal of information on the Buchanans but not a lot yet on the CLEERE's. I am using Family Tree Maker 4.0 and use their on-line service, so I am picking up information quickly. If you have any helpful information, pls let me know at crb3@gte.net or crb3la@juno.com. Thanks
