Photograph, Clara Edwards and unknown man | A black and white photograph of Clara Edwards and an unknown man. Clara Jane Beer was born circa 1859 in England. Whilst still a toddler she came to New Zealand with her parents. She married William James Edwards in 1903. William died in 1938 and Clara in 1945. It is difficult to tell from the photo, but we estimate Clara at 70-80 years of age, giving us an approximate date range of 1930-1940. Unfortunately we can't confirm who appears in this photo with Clara. If you can help with identification, please get in touch. | Unknown photographer | Te Hikoi Museum / Te Hikoi Museum |
