Hello malcom and welcome to our site.
If you search the research boards for Ariel I'm sure you will find more threads. When Libby comes around I'm sure she will fill you in. The Ariels have caused a lot of trouble for us all. lol Just remember you did ask for more info.

As it is now nearly 12.30 am in Australia,
I must go to bed as I believe I am going to be awoken rather early, with squeals from the other end of town when Libby reads a few threads back.

Agatha Ariel
I do hope I haven't stirred up a hornets nest here -- forgive me if I have, as I don't want to cause anyone any trouble.
It's just that history in general fascinates me and if I find any connection to my ancestors in any historical context I am anxious to know more. Hence my request to find out more about the Ariel/Clark connection with particular reference to Landsdown Villa. I will search the forums for Ariel as suggested and look forward to reading more. No, I do not run a surname index. Many thanks.

No, Malcolm no hornets next. It's a sort of in house joke.
More like a can of worms Everyone groans when Libby mentions her Ariel's

Morning all~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome Malcolm...................although you may be forever sorry you ever noticed this thread. A potted history of the Ariels and Clarks???? Have you got a spare year to listen??? lol As to your question about why or how a girl would come from Yorkshire to be in service in Bristol.....I can't answer, although I will tell you it's not that uncommon. Also, the Ariels, in particular, travelled all over the country (the world as well). If you send me a pm (private message) with your email address, I'd be happy to send whatever you'd like. The story, in a very tiny time is..... The Ariels were a Bristol family as were the Clarks. Myles Ariel and Elizabeth Naylor married 1815 in Yorkshire (Elizabeth came from Cleckheaton) They were back in Bristol for the first baby. I'd say this marriage was possibly "arranged" for business purposes. One of their children was Agatha, born 1822. In 1839, she married Edward Clark in Bristol. Agatha's mother, Elizabeth, had died in 1837. Later in 1839, Agatha's father, Myles, married Edward Clark's older sister, Lucretia. 1840.....Myles Ariel dies. 1845.....Edward Clark divorces Agatha..........the story of that is very long and involved. If you are interested I'll give you the details. Maybe you can be the one who breaks the mystery. There were 6 children to Agatha and Edward.....last one born during the divorce. Lucretia Clark then has custody of the youngest Ariel child, Mary Eyre Ariel. Mary was the child of Myles and Elizabeth, born 1834. Mary later (much later) married in Italy. The Ariels had brides from Lancashire and Yorkshire through the times, always girls from wealthy families. If your family member was in service (Sorry.....I did read your post, but it's early here) then my bet is she was probably a 'nicer' person than those she worked for.......lol

Just re-read your post Malcolm.
Myles Kirkby Eyre Ariel was born in1849, not died. He was the son of Myles Kirkby Ariel and Emily Mary Ann Weaver. Myles and Emily came to Australia in 1855 and Myles disappeared (another story). Baby Myles grew up here and I have his tree. My husband's great grandfather was Baby Myles' brother, Richard Thomas Weaver Ariel. Agatha's older sister, Elizabeth married Henry Farr, a solicitor (also from Bristol) but living in Wales.

Well done Lib. I'm most impressed too.
Don't take any notice of the banter Malcolm - it's just some of us struggle to get back to the 1700s -  and others with surnames starting with A - go on and on and on and on...... find them in books - in France - in all sorts of intereting places lol Julie You don't have an interest in Allenders too?
