John Clark, 35 or 39 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, London in 1814
« on: Wednesday 12 November 25 10:49 GMT (UK) »
I am in search of some biographical information on John Clark, who lived or had his chambers in 35 or 39 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, Londen, in 1814. He possibly was a solicitor or notary. Could somebody be of help? Many thanks in advance.

I don't read French, however there is this advertisement mentioning a Jean CLARK of 35 Southampton Buildings, in 1815. Not sure if this helps at all.

Monday,  Mar. 6, 1815
Publication: Sussex Advertiser

Oh, I can't attach an image here. Let me know if you would like to see it.

Thanks very much. This is the man whom I am looking for. Unfortunately his occupation of profession isn't mentioned. I couldn't find him the London Gazette. Is there any almanac of addressbook that could help ?

Not much help, I can see the Post Office London Directory for 1820 - at 35 Southampton Buildings there is a J.T. NIXON "Messenger of Bankrupts".

Mr Clark, Southampton buildings is the attorney for a number of bankrupts in 1819

And is this the same man.

Hmm

There is a will  https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/97a63582-3f5d-47c4-bb92-5db5d5a204e0

So the 1819 one must be someone else

Sister Hester Stamp, of Ilfracombe, Devon
Sister Mary (?) Barrett widow of Gloucester
Niece Frances Julia Clark
Niece Charlotte Matilda Clark
Aunt of the nieces = Mary Johnson

He was of st  Paul’s College before  Southampton Buildings
