They had four children: John Henry Clarke (born 1891), Walter Oakley Clarke (1892), Amy Key Clarke (1893–1980) and Wilfrid Kinton Clarke (1894).〔England 1911 Census〕 After her marriage, Clarke's teaching was limited to occasional lectures at Westfield College. Her primary occupation became writing. In 1908, she died of cancer.
