Who was Clara ?

This is the same family so will keep it all together.

Henry Heathcote is the great great grandfather of Walter Knifton Heathcote in the first post on this thread.

Henry Heathcote married Ann White in Wigstone Magna, Leicestershire on 24 Feb 1828.

They lived a long life together bringing up their 6 children in St Margaret, Leicester, Leicestershire

In Apr 1872 Ann dies in Leicester and is buried in Welford Road Cemetery, Leicester, Leicestershire.

Henry (a widower) remarries on 18 Nov 1872 in St. Margaret's, Leicester, Leicestershire. His second wife is Mary James (a widow) age 46 b. (aprox) 1826.

Henry who now says born 1804 with his wife Mary and apparently 3 Heathcote children Although I think the children are Mary's from her previous marriage). Mary now says she was born 1830

I can't find a death for either of them
 
Leicester Chronicle and Leicestershire Mercury March 31st 1883
On the 22nd inst., Mr Henry Heathcote, Bedford Street, Leicester, aged 78.
 
No wonder I couldn't find it on FMP , they have him transcribed as being born 1855 and aged 28, the original says different.
