The County Coroner held an inquest at the "County Members Hotel," Lympne, on Tuesday, when the jury returned a verdict that Robert Clarke committed suicide while temporarily insane.

Robert Clark was the licensee of the "Swan" in Dover Road, Folkestone.

 

The licensee in 1851 was Sarah Hills but James Eason is also living at the same place and is identified as a shoemaker. As yet I don't know the connection between the two other than living under the same roof. Further information tells me that they married in June 1853.
