Just wondering if there is any one else searching the Clark(e) family in these areas???
My 4x Gt Grandfather was Joshua Clark married to Martha Brooks
I have been searching with no success for births records of 2 of their children
a) Daniel abt 1814
b) James abt 1812
I can find other children, but not these two.
Joshua and Martha's (Marther) marriage found took place on 21st April 1800 in St Mary the Virgins Church Aldermanbury after banns were read.
Therefore I feel that these 2 sons would have had a baptism ???
James is my 3 x Gt Grandfather and he married Maria Enzer abt.1838 in st Johns Bethnal Green Tower Hamlets also after banns
If there is anyone else searching for the same family please contact me or if there is anyone that could advise me where to look?? Parish records have been searched for St Mathews and St Leonards Thank you in advance

Thank you for the reply I do have that info but have really been trying to get a birth /baptism for them
very elusive
-
Son Henry born 9 January 1819 was not baptized until 17 May 1830 age 11 so James and Daniel could also be baptized well after their birth year.
ADDED
A son William born 9 February 1820 was baptized the same day he was buried age 26 on 26 April 1846 St Leonard's Shoreditch.

Oh thank you for that I will look into it further

Still have had no luck with James or Daniel Clark wondering if anyone has found any more records that may have come to light since I last posted Thanks
