Starlings of Great Yarmouth
By Isabel Jones
My Grandmother, Maude Elizabeth Starling was born in Row 16, Great Yarmouth in about 1884. Her parents were Robert and Emma. Her father was a fisherman and made frequent trips to the Continent. She joined the Salvation Army as a young woman where she met my Grandfather Robert William Clarke. He came to Natal, South Africa in the early 1900's and she followed a couple of yearss later. They were then married and lived to a great age. I wish I remembered more of the stories she told us as children. I believe there are still descendants of hers in Great Yarmouth.
