Life

Clare was educated at Bedford Modern School and left with a leaving exhibition, joining his step-father’s firm as an articled clerk and later becoming a partner practising as Conquest and Clare.[2] Clare established his reputation in the Petty Sessional and County Courts of Bedford and neighbouring counties while also earning a good reputation in the family courts.[2] In one of his obituaries he was described as a ‘shrewd and honourable practitioner, and an eloquent and successful pleader’.[2]

Clare rose to prominence and was for nineteen years District Registrar of the High Court of Justice, Registrar in Bankruptcy,[4] and County Court Registrar in the districts of which Bedford was the centre.[1] He also held the clerkship to the burial board and served for six years as a borough alderman of Bedford.[1] He also served as a Governor of the Harpur Trust.[1][2]

Clare married Miss Mary Catherine Hensman in 1882.[2] He died on All Saints’ Day in Muswell Hill on 1 November 1912 and his funeral took place in Highgate.[1][5] He was survived by his wife and four children.[2]
