Hallo John,
not quite sure how you are related, but the picture shows Thomas Edward Clark 1883 - 1968 on the left. According to his granddaughter Joyce the young man in the middle is his son Thomas Edward (1913 - 1985). The man on the right is probably one of the brothers, but we don't know who was the partner. It could be Percy or William. It's definitely not Francis George, who was my grandfather and who went into a different line of business. And the youngest, Leonard, wasn't a carpenter either. In the 1911 census Percy is carpenter's apprentice. William is just a news boy but he was a coach builder later. Clark Bros. could mean all three and not just two brothers.
In the 1921 census there is an apprentice named William Cooper, aged 15. Percy married William's older sister 3 years later.
In the photo is a small child, too. Thomas Edward junior had a little sister, who was 11 years younger. If the photo was 1928, the child would be 4 and Thomas junior 15 - do you think that feasible?
It would be nice to hear from you
Dianne
