John Cloke 1839 – 1922 and his wife Louisa Hannah Nee Rolfe of 16, Albert Road Hythe.
John and Louisa had a big family that could have served or even had grand children who served, however if they moved from Hythe to other towns, then I have not come across them.
Thomas was the only child I have come across at this moment in time.
