The Market Gardener Who Saved A Boy - William Herbert Clark 1916 - 1974

William Herbert Clark
On the 10th of October 1927 William Herbert Clark, or Bill as he would be called by family,  arrives at the Western Australian Port of Fremantle on the SS Baradine, he is traveling with his parents John Henry Clark and Margaret Davis Clark (nee Boyd) and his 6 other siblings. Their journey started 40 days earlier,1st September 1927,  in Deptford, London England, where William was born on the 30th of July 1916.

It would seem that Bill's family would immigrate to Australia on an assisted immigration scheme, they were to settle in Northcliffe, in the south west of Western Australia on the 16th of April 1929 as part of group 143. Bill would remain on the family farm until they walked off the land some time  between 1931 and 1936.
