GEORGE Clark Buried 01 October 1823, Danby-Wiske, Yorkshire, no age given
JANE Clark Buried 10 December 1851 same place, no age given.
I presume you have Jane on Census.
In 1851 she is with Daug Mary now Mrs Oliver, in Northallerton age 90 (Birth c 1761)
1841 she is with the Olivers also age 70
Familysearch has a few possible christenings for George from 1755-1762
Do you have all of George/Janes Childrens christenings to establish a possible naming pattern?

Hi trish1120
Thank you for George Clark's burial date, and Jane's burial date, and i only have one child for them William Clark but no birth date and not sure if he is their child or not.
Thanks for finding that George Clark possible christenings 1755-1762 Im guessing he was christened in Danby in Cleveland which i have just looked up but could'nt find and also just looked this up on Freereg.org and could'nt find it on there either so if you help me pin down a birth record would appreciate it.
I dont know who the parents were for George clark or if he had any siblings. As im trying to put a Clark Ancestry together, and not sure if this clark family goes back into Scotland. Any help would appreciate.
Thanks
Elizlloyd.

Hi,
First I would like to point out the Danby Wiske and Danby in Cleveland are two different places and not near each other.
There is a marriage for Francis WATSON and ANN CLARK in Ainderby Steeple 26/12/1835. Both are of this parish and witnesses are Joseph PRATT, Ann WATSON and James MILBURN
William CLARK (son of George CLARK and Jane HOBSON) is in Thrintoft, Ainderby Steeple with, presumably, his second wife, Elizabeth in 1841 and 1851 census
Children of William CLARK and Hannah baptized in Ainderby Steeple are
Mary, 25/2/1816
Ann, 31/1/1818
Alice, 20/2/1820
William, 3/11/1821
Bartholomew, 21/9/1823
George, 15/6/1825
Hannah, 6/5/1827
John, 7/2/1829
Robert, 3/10/1830
Elizabeth, 1/7/1832
Henry, 22/3/1834
Margaret, 24/11/1835
Eliza, 31/1/1837
All children of William and Hannah Clark, labourer of Thrintoft, Ainderby Steeple
So presumably Hannah died between 1837-1841 and he married Elizabeth who is with him in 1841 and 1851. There don't appear to be any children to his second marriage.
Children of George CLARK and Jane HOBSON born/baptized in Danby Wiske are
Ann, born 28/7/1787, bapt. 30/7/1787
John, born 5/9/1788, bapt. 8/9/1788
Mary, born 2/5/1790, bapt. 18/7/1790
William, born 30/5/1792, bapt. 8/7/1792
Jane, born 1/9/1794, bapt. 12/10/1794
George, born 22/3/1796, bapt 25/3/1796
Margaret, born 18/9/1797, bapt. 24/9/1797
Alice, born 17/2/1800, bapt. 2/3/1800
James, born 17/5/1801, bapt. 24/5/1801
Hannah, born 4/4/1803, bapt. 8/4/1803
Robert, born 25/5/1806, bapt. 13/7/1806
All children of George CLARK (described as cottager and then husbandman) and Jane HOBSON, dau. of John HOBSON of Danby. Some of the baptisms give the address as Crawford House. Jane's father John HOBSON is described as 'deceased' for the first time at George's baptism in 1796.
I'll let you sort that lot out. If you need any further information, please get back to me

Hi,
I have only recently noted this thread and I realise I may be giving you information you already have, but just in case you don't...
A few years ago, I was given some information taken from the burial records for Danby Wiske Parish Church as I used to live in the village for a number of years. This contained a number of Clark / Clarke references:
Surname Forenames Abode Date of Burial Age
Clark Elizabeth South Cowton 14/10/1882 61
Clark George Danby Wiske 01/10/1823 65
Clark Jane Northallerton 18/12/1851 91
Clarke George Bolton on Swale 20/12/1864 59
Clarke Mary Darlington 29/11/1886 85
Clarke William Danby Wiske 03/01/1865 28
I'm a bit sceptical as to the accuracy of some of the above; however, as there is the MI below with information which varies slightly. This appears to have been the only grave that has been transcribed.
"In remembrance of George Clark of Hewson Hill who departed this life Dec 18th 1864 aged 60 years. Also of William Clark son of the above who departed this life Jan 1st 1865 aged 33 years"
An address of Crawford House was mentioned previously. Whilst I'm not sure where this is, there is a road known as 'Crawford Lane' which links the Danby Wiske road to the A167 Northallerton to Darlington road (although this comes up as Crowfoot Lane on Google maps). There is only a farm called Crawford Farm on this road and a house at the junction with the A167 so it may refer to one of these.
Hope this helps

I have just seen your posting (and replies) and am interested as you say you are compiling a history of the
Clark family of Thrintoft. I am descended from ALICE CLARK born 1820 died 1864 daughter of
William Clark and Hannah.
You asked for info on marriage of Ann Clark to Francis Watson but I note you have been given this info.
I don't know if Roots chat sends me an email if you (or anyone) replies and understand it's
not recommended to give out a personal email
Someone helped me put some details of Alice on Ancestry I am a guest so can't see or access
a tree. I believe someone has posted the marriage of William to Hannah Wilson.
Best wishes
Jill

gilian rowland,
Hello and thank you for your reply which I have received and am still putting the history of the Clark family together. Happy to share any information I have with you.
Best Wishes

Dear Elizlloyd
Thanks so much for your prompt reply.
The main question is do you have proof ie paperwork that William Clark married Hannah Wilson? in 1814? I ask because someone descended from Elizabeth contacted me two days ago having seen my tree on Ancestry.
I am a guest of a member and so can't see what others post but believe there is a document relating to that on there.
I haven't done work on the Clark family for several years and all I did then was concentrate on Alice 1820-1864 and didn't go back beyond that. Oh and I did work on one of her brothers Robert who went to Australia as that tied in with other work I was doing.
Some years ago I was put in touch with a descendent of Ann and have lots of emails from him but haven't
ploughed through them or added them to my tree.
In a nutshell what info do you have? I was sent a link yesterday on how to send a private message in
which I guess I could put my email but haven't studied that and am nervous of trying new things!
Perhaps you can send me a private message if you have attachments etc and hope I can work out how to access.
Inhaste - best wishes Jill
