A person page exists for Clara in FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/M51F-F27

This has a christening date but no source for the event so that would need to be confirmed from baptism records. It also includes her parents and siblings.

I am researching the Boosey family so I looked for Clara in FamilySearch.

Clara was probably born about 1822 based on later census returns. I couldn't find a birth record online so couldn't determine her parents. Clara married James Cox in 1846: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:26WK-F54. Clara, James and family appear in the census records for 1851: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGV4-N9Q 1861: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MWMJ-P3V 1871: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VFFL-YH1 1881: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27D-4MMY 1891: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QG26-SPZ 1901: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9J8-H9S Clara died in 1903: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2N5X-DS2
