Hi, Martin,
I came across your tree and info on Thomas Wynn Loughborough, first through Ancestry and then GENEANET. My interest comes from the fact that my father was illegitimate and his father (my grandfather) was cited as 'unknown' on his birth certificate. Now my paternal grandmother was Alice Maud Clare and Alice was 'in service' in the 1911 census to, would you believe, THOMAS Wynn Loughborough. I have recently heard that my grandmother had an illegitimate child from an affair with her employer. This information derived from Florence Amy Clare, who was Alice's youngest sister. The story goes that TWL was not willing to marry Alice but agreed to pay (quite generously) for the upkeep of my father (Walter Albert Clare). Note, he took his mother's surname. The condition was that Alice did not divulge the father.
Thus, I have always known that my surname was Clare by default and often wondered who my grandfather was.
I took a DNA test in the hope it might produce the answer. It has not but fortuitously, I was found to be a match to a Sonia Cresswell, and it was through Sonia I found out the story of Alice's affair. The common ancestors to Sonia and myself are George Clare and Annie (nee Baker) - my great grandparents, her g-g grandparents. They were the parents of both Alice and Florence. The dates fit: my father was born in Feb 1910, so was conceived in May 1909. Now, TWL lost his first wife in 1908, so I believe Alice may have been in the service of TWL at that time as he was an unattached widower. The house TWL lived in was large and TWL worked at Woolwich Arsenal in 1911, some can imagine he may well have needed a housekeeper to keep such a large place clean and provide him with a meal to come home to. TWL was from a wealthy family: his father was a barrister in Kensington/Chelsea. TWL went to Marlborough Public school and to Kings College uni.. He was an officer in the 2nd Boer war, and the youngest officer in the army at that time. For over 40 years from 1913, he was General Secretary of the FIM, the body that controls motorcycle sport. I'm not sure you would want to add illegitimate offspring to your family tree, and I am in a similar position with my tree on Ancestry. I don't THINK there are any progeny, who have had a DNA test. Certainly a match has not screamed out at me.
Anyway, I thought you might be interested in this.
Regards, Barry Clare, from Geneanet, 18th March 2024
