1851
Eastwood
Thomas Abbott,head,m,51,coal miner,Shipley,Derbys
Rebecca,wife,m,42,Codnor,Derbys
William,son,22,coal miner,Codnor
Joseph,son,19,ditto,ditto
Jervis,son,16,ditto,ditto
Mark,son,15,ditto,ditto
Ra?,son,9,scholar,ditto
Sarah,dau,10m,

That seems to be Thomas remarried to a Rebecca and I suggest that she was Rebecca Clark in the 1841 in the household before John and Hannah Clark's if I remember correctly.

1841
Rebecca Clarke,30,charwoman,y
Joseph ditto,9,y
Mark ditto,5,y

and has taken her two sons with her but they are down as Abbotts. There is a Basford marriage in 1842 with Thomas Abbott and Rebecca Clark on the same page. Course I suppose she was not a Clark originally as this was her 2nd marriage too (hoping for the best here).
William and Jervis are Thomas's son from first marriage.


1841 has
Eastwood
Maybella Roberts,65,n
Henry Clay,75,coal miner,n
Stephen Deakin,20,coal miner,n
Gervas Abbott,7,n

not sure how Maybella connects in!

I'll look at the rest of your post tomorrow :)

 :o :o
Couldn't make out the 9 yearold son's name in 1851, seemed to be Roy???. There is a Royal Regent Clark birth Basford 1842, perhaps that is him and he is Rebecca son too. Wonder who the father was if that is the case.
Looks like that is it as he is with Thomas and Rebecca in 1861 "Royal Clarke,son in law,unm,19".

Hi,
I am also studying Clarke's from Codnor, particularly Sarah Clarke born 1833. She Married William Day of Heanor. Her Parents were Joseph Clarke 1791 & Mary Smith 1790. I am looking for any info on William Day.

Hi All,

I was intereted to see this thread, as I'm descended from John Clarke and Hannah Slack.

I'm making slow, but steady, progress with the Clarkes in Codnor, but there's obviously a slight dead-end with Hannah being illegitimate. Since all of this was posted, have any of you come across any evidence to suggest that Hannah Slack's father was Gervase Pepperday, marrying the mother of his child after the event, or do you think it's more likely that Hannah's real father was just an unknown local?
