Noah Clark was my great-grandfather and I still have (I think) a framed address given to him by Brighton & Hove Albion in (I think) 1902 for services rendered. He also, I believe, built No. 240 next door where I lived as a child - the houses are semis so that would make sense I guess. My grandfather Charles Cardwell lived in Kenwyn in Wincombe Road next door to 238 - either he or Noah Clark had this built too. When Charles died in 1959, my grandmother sold the house and moved in with us at 240. Next door at 238 were the Hankinsons who had twin daughters, Josephine and Michelle. My parents sold 240 in 1970 for £9000! My grandmother died in 1973. Noah Clark died before I was born in 1948. My parents also owned Cardwells in Presonville Road - see separate entry under Seven Dials.

Noah Clark died 1930 and was my great great uncle. In 1925 he was given this illuminated address by the directors who called him Father of the Albion. It appears John Morley and myself are related. I would like to compare notes on family history if possible.

Noah Clark was my great great great uncle. I discovered this in 2005 and after sending an email to the Albion Brighton Hove Football team I was happily put in touch with Alan Gower. This is a beautiful house and I'm proud that one of my ancestors was a part of the history of Brighton.

Greeting from Vancouver! Noah Clark was my great grand uncle. In fact my grandmother Jessie Ann Clark lived with Noah after her father died in 1888. You can find her in his residence on the 1891 and 1901 census. She was married from his household in December 27, 1908. In 1891, I believe the family lived at 12 Aiflon Street and on the 1901 census at 23 York Villas in Brighton. I have a picture of my grandmother Jessie, her Uncle Noah Clark, aunt Fanny and her son Charles John Pullen Cardwell. My surviving aunt (she will be 96 this February), talks of "Dulcie" and "Queenie" Cardwell and I wonder if any one has information to share on those individuals.

In reply to Stephanie Lett, my mother was Dulcie Cardwell and Queenie was her sister - they were the daughters of Charles Cardwell my grandfather. My Mum married Bob Morley in 1941 and they took over Cardwells, the Ironmongers shop in Prestonville Road after my grandad died in 1959 and ran it until they retired in 1981. My Mum died in 1996 and my Dad in 1999. Her sister Queenie (or Barbara as was her proper name) married first Ernest Hugen and then divorced him. Then she married Len Newcombe and moved to North Wales in 1955. Len died suddenly in 1970 and she moved back to Brighton. She died of lung cancer in 1986 aged 75. She never had any children.

In response to Alan Gower, I am quite happy for him to email me if he wants to discuss our ancestors and our possible connecton. Presumably you can give him my email address directly but please let me know if you do.

I lived in 238 for 8 years. It's a wonderful house.

I had a computer crash recently and lost John Morley's email address. I would be grateful if you could put me in touch again as we have more family and Albion to discuss.
