Henry Clark's wife, Mary Blackwall was born in Derbyshire. Kirk Ireton was a one of the centres of the Blackwall family. It was inevitable that I would be drawn to Kirk Ireton and there are a few ancesters and descendents of Mary Blackwall in the churchyard. The photographs of the family and the churchyard are in the datastore which can be accessed here.The War Memorial has the following information: The surnames are first.
