Thomas Clarke and Rose Kerridge (Kerrich or Keridge) were married on May 11, 1600 in Westhorpe, Suffolk.



Thomas Clarke was born in October, 1570 in Westhorpe, Suffolk, England, and baptised at St. Margaret's there on November 1. He was the son of John Clarke and Katherine Cook. He married Rose Kerrich at All Saints Church in Saxtead, Suffolk, on May 11, 1600. They returned to Westhorpe and settled there. When his father died, Thomas probably took his father's lands in Westhorpe because he resided there when his children were born. His brothers John, Carew and Christopher must have taken their father's lands in Finningham, as subsidies were levied on them at Finningham in 1597. Thomas and Rose had eight children at Westhorpe. Thomas died July 29, 1627 and was buried in the churchyard of St. Margaret's Church at Westhorpe on the 30th.
