Note that the witness Sarah Louisa Marchant is probably a sister. She's in MEOT in 1891, with husband, family and baby Reginald:

MARCHANT, REGINALD GORDON CHURCH
GRO Reference: 1891 M Quarter in MILE END OLD TOWN

Clara with her daughter on the erolls in 1930 in Erdington (Birmingham):

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...b7&pId=4475530

This could possibly be her in 1911, though her age is underestimated and her place of birth (Arundel St, Strand) is well to the west of Limehouse, but she was married to Oliver Freemantle for about 25 years and she did have two surviving children, though the dec'd children are not recorded. Also, if this is a different Clara Freemantle, she should appear on the 1901 and 1891 census in that name, but I can't find her on those at the moment.

Bit off topic, but these are Oliver's police records:

Wow, well done Merry and Phoenix!

Lots of food for thought there. I recognise the name Marchant, as one of Arthur's nieces married a Marchant. It never ceases to amaze me what small social circles my east end ancestors moved in.

I'll have a look around and see if I can find anything else, given the brilliant info you've already uncovered.

And her address on that census is the same address Clara gave at her marriage to Oliver Freemantle.

I did wonder if it's possible Arthur Day lived in MEOT too? This could be him at a stretch, but obviously it could very easily not be:

Name: Arthur Day
Estimated birth year: abt 1857
Registration Year: 1889
Registration Quarter: Jan-Feb-Mar
Age at Death: 32
Registration district: Mile End Old Town
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1c
Page: 355

He's a bit young, but not too much.
