Until we meet Clara's friend or Clara's mother, or have Bells Clara remember her childhood meeting with the Doctor, we can't really link them as the same life. And I highly doubt those narrative elements will ever get revisited.

I think we should also consider the names of the articles related to Clara. Having Clara's mother and Clara's father implies that they're married and the parents of the same Clara. But they're not. There's no implication of marriage by calling them her mother and her father. And unless we want to go back and check that there are no ambiguous mother/father pairs, I don't see what those pages warrant renaming. It will be obvious quickly in each article that they are separate and disconnected.
