Hello Cherilyn.
Thank you for this,the Clack males were certainly very prolific :-)

The Methodist connection also rang a bell as my fathers' line (which was Ann's) were Methodist too and as a child he had to go to church 3 times every Sunday to work the bellows for the organ :-he was not a churchgoer as an adult :-D

Very interesting reading here. This is just the first couple of lines.

Noah Clack was born at Clanfield, Oxfordshire in 1836 in a Methodist home. The son of John and Ann Kenbury. Eleven children were born to the couple, ten of them male. Two of the Clack boys migrated to South Australia.

CLACK.—In loving memory of my dearly loved
husband, Noah Clack, who was suddenly called
to higher service, for the Master on the 13th of
August 1904, at the Boxwoods, Murray Town,
"Oh, teach us from our hearts to say, Thy will
be done."

The Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1889 - 1931) Saturday 12 August 1905


CLACK.-On the 13th August, at the Boxwoods,
Murray Town, Noah Clack, dearly loved husband
of Louisa M. Clack, and brother of Oliver Clack,
Crystal Brook, aged 68 years; deeply regretted.

The Advertiser (Adelaide, SA : 1889 - 1931) Tuesday 16 August 1904


Church Triumphant.
NOAH CLACK
Passed into the unseen on August
13, and the news of his sudden call
came as a shock to friends in the cir-
cuit. He was born at Clanfleld, in
Oxfordshire, in 1836, and he was trained
in a Methodist home, his father being
for over 50 years a member of the
Wesleyan Church. He came to South
Australia in 1860, and after a stay of
about four years returned to England
Soon, however, he came back, and remained
in the State until his death.

Part of his obituary Australian Christian Commonwealth (SA : 1901 - 1940) Friday 30 September 1904

EDIT Part of Harriet's obituary.

Australian Christian Commonwealth (SA : 1901 - 1940) Friday 10 January 1902

MRS. HARRIET CLACK
was born on January 7, 1837. In her
early life she was brought up under
the religious influence of the Anglican
Church. An exemplary clergyman
(Rev. Henry Barnes) one day enquired
kindly after the welfare of her soul.
That enquiry awakened her conscience,
and led to her conversion. She was
married in 1863, and started off almost
immediately with Mr. Clack for Australia.

An Ancestry tree shows first child of Noah and Harriett to be Louisa Maria b 1860 and dies 1910.

However what I think has happened is that her name has been entered wrongly as a child -
the tree shows Harriett Clack dying in 1901 and Noah remarrying Louisa Maria Foord 25.12.1902 in Melrose South Australia and she dies 1910.
