Thanks Spendlove
That helps, and the Poyser bit is very intriguing. I had not thought to follow the niece's back!

Hi Mark
Wow - not bad from a hovel in deepest, darkest France! That would fit brilliantly - where did you find it? Is there any extra info on the wedding that might help to 'tie' this William and Mary to my Alfred (I am just trying to be careful with Clark not being the rarest name out there!)
Really appreciate the help - being not local to Derby I have struggled to find much online to help me get further.
Thanks again

Derbyshire Completed Look ups / Derby Lookup: CLARKE - baptism mystery / marriage lookup COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 16 October 12 18:31 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to solve a mystery. I am researching Alfred Clark(e) 1812-1895, hairdresser and perfumier of Derby, and trying to find his parents. I know his father was William Clark - a Frame Work Knitter.
I have his birth as 18 June 1812 from his daughter's bible. I have found a probable baptism on the familysearch website which has a baptism of an Alfred Clarke on 24 June 1812 at St Alkmund Derby to a William Clarke and Mary.
There is ALSO a baptism of an Alfred Clarke born 18 June 1812, on 23 Aug 1826 at St Peter Derby to a William Clarke and Mary - this baptism is shared with two other children - Emma (born 1 July 1814) and Ann (born 18 June 1807.)
From my Alfred's marriage certificate, his father is William Clarke Frame Work Knitter.
I cannot find a suitable marriage for a William and Mary. Again on familysearch I have found a William Clarke marrying a Mary Bowler in 1808 in Alfreton - but if both the Alfred baptisms above are the same Alfred, then his parent's marriage (going on the births of the other two children) should be pre 1807.
To add to this is the mystery of why he was baptised twice - unless they are two seperate Alfred Clarkes born on the same day in Derby?
Can anyone help?
Any help/signposting would be very much appreciated!
Kind regards
Paul

Thank you SO much for all this help Sandy
- the Thomas Stamp mystery has remained just that for a long time. I keep having a go at it, every now and then, and have always drawn a blank.
