P.S. You referred to his biography in the Clergy List.
What is this and where do I find it?

Neil,
Many thanks for your comments and the contact info.

WR Clark was living in High Street, Lymington, Hampshire at the time of his marriage in 1855 at Salisbury. At that time he was an independent minister at the Independent Chapel in Lymington. He was not ordained until 1857 after which he moved to St Matthias, Birmingham about 1857 before moving on to Taunton about 1860.

His wife Elizabeth Jane Higgins was a scholar in Lymington in 1851 census (her family were in Salisbury where her father, Charles Higgins, was an inn-keeper/brewer. He was 36 and she was 20. I have the certificate.

The 1871 and 1881 census both refer to Lymington, Hants, although the 1891 census in London (she was the wife in the Petre family by then) says Birmingham!  As a long-shot I checked FreeBMD in Birmingham and Aston (St Matthias is in Aston parish) to no avail.

My original FRC index search was based upon the name rather than the location.
I think following up your suggested contacts will be my salvation.

Carol W,
I note your comment, many thanks, and it may be possible.

However I should have said that her father was Reverend Professor William Robinson Clark, (a name web search will find him), who would usually have baptised his children as well as registering them.

I wonder if a mis-transcription, damaged register or lost register could be the cause. Anyone close enough to enquire about the original records maybe can assist.

Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / James CLARK - birth in Aberdeen 1797 or 1801
« on: Friday 03 February 06 16:10 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for Rev. Jame CLARK born in Aberdeen in circa. 1797 or 1801.
He was Reverend and schoolmaster at Daviot.

MI in Daviot indicates died 1840 in 49th year, i.e. 1801.
1841 census at Daviot indicates aged 40, i.e. born 1801.

A family record indicates born 1797.

He was at Aberdeen University 1816 - aged 15?
Probably King's College - his sons also went there.
Not sure if this is when he started or left.

He was married on 27th November 1825 at Daviot, Aberdeenshire to Catherine LYON of Inverurie. Does this record have his age?

GRO also has Old Parochial Registers (ref 187/1 and 187/2) that I have not seen.

Any help would be appreciated.
