They had two known sons James 1816/17 Houndsditch and John Henry 1819 Whitechapel. The family moved to Oxford some time between 1820-1836. Clarissa died in 1836, aged 47. Clarissa is entered as 'of this parish' (St.Dunstan) at her wedding to James, but I cannot find her baptism there. Therefore she could have been born anywhere in the country. A witness at her wedding was Mary DAY (sister? mother? sister in law?). A small painting ca 1800 exists in the family of a girl thought to be Jane DAY. This could be Clarissa, or a sister Jane.

I have not been able to find where and when born regarding Henry Could he be your Clarissa's brother ? Families seem to name children after other members of their family. Just a thought!Regards Polly
