Biography
My name is Clare Spring, I was born in Canberra, Australia in 1987. My mother was born in Auckland, New Zealand and my father was born in Melbourne.[1]
I started researching my family history in February 2017 and Wikitree has been an extraordinarily helpful platform to do this, and to contain all my research.
I'm particularly keen to "grow branches", meet family members (please get in touch!), and to add information to the profiles of my ancestors. I'm also keen to learn more about my migrating ancestors, including:
- great-grandfather Norman Michael Campbell who was born in South Africa, married my great-grandmother Lydia Talbot in Northumberland, England, and moved to New Zealand in the 1920s with my grandmother Elizabeth.
- great, great grandfather William Spring who moved to Australia from Ireland in the 1800s
- great, great, great grandmother Frances Sheppard who moved to Australia with her family in the 1850s from Ireland
- great, great grandfather William Frederick Salmon (born in Somerset and moved to Australia in the 1850s)
The table below outlines my progress identifying direct ancestors.

Since you manage, or have contributed to, a number of Prentice profiles I invite you to check-out the new One Name Study for the Prentice surname. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Prentice_Name_Study

The Prentice profiles I manage are cousins, I haven't (yet?) come across the name in my ancestral lines.
Thanks for your note and good luck with your study, I have had a good go at it with the Spring study and have found it to be a lot of work but worthwhile!
Best,
Clare
I have a question for you about a profile that you created several years ago: Alyssa Whitall Pearsall Smith of Bertrand Russell's first wife. This appears to be the same as Alys Smith Russell. I would like to suggest a merge of these, but wanted to get your opinion. Do you think it's important to have the double last name Pearsall-Smith or could we go with plain Smith? The other profile lists her siblings, all with the last name Smith. The profile that you created has no profile manager right now, and you might not have thought about it for several years, but I thought I would ask before doing anything.
I am more than happy for you to move to plain Smith if that was her LNAB - I looked at the profile and I think it's about the worst profile I ever created, ugh!
Thanks for your work on improving it, much appreciated.
Clare
You have done so much work that I can piggy back on.
