My notes: No father is named on Clara's birth cert (name on cert is spelt Clares) and Elizabeth her mother is unmarried. The death certificate (name spelt Clarissa) states 'Clarissa is the child of Elizabeth Draper now the wife of John Barrow' which suggests John is not the birth father of Clara. Elizabeth Barrow nee Draper registered her daughter's birth and death.
