The Clarence tree I have names 2 more children of Richard and Elizabeth, who I haven't yet found in the original records I've seen;

  1. Ann, b. 15/04/1819 in Bermondsey, London.
  2. Herbert (for whom no date is given).

Richard Clarence, then of Hooley Park, Riegate, Surrey, died 13/03/1826, aged 68, and was burried at Riegate on 06/04/1826 [Quaker burial records - via FindMyPast].

I have now found Elizabeth (nee Buck), and 2 of her daughters (Emma, and "Susanna", both unmarried) in the 1851 census, in Heavitree, St Thomas (Exeter), Devon. All 3 are "School mistress"es. Elizabeth was 75, born in "Norwich, Norfolk". There is a GRO death index for Elizabeth Clarence in Q4 1852, in St Thomas (Exeter), Devon.
