I wonder if anyone can help me finish my family Clark tree.
Am stuck with John James Clark born 1836 - so can't get birth certificate.
Born Middx - prob East end of London.
His father was also John according to his marriage certif, and both were labourers. His fathers address on certificate was Waverly Road.
His wife was Jane Kidd and lots of people helped me last week with her family
Can anyone find his mothers name - I know its a long shot as Clark is a fairly common London name and loads on 1841 census.
Thanks.

Do not usually get the address for the father on a marriage cert

Where did he marry and when ?

Which census have you found him on ?

Valerie Report 4 Dec 2011 11:17

I know its quitea long stot to find him - so many Clarks
I think he may be in the 1851 census at St. Luke Middx.

Don't think its 1841 at Westminster if father is mariner.

When did he die ?

Have you found him on 1861 or has he already died by then

I was only putting up the ones with their fathers occupations to see if we could match any of them.

Is this your John James on the census as sometimes the names of their children give a clue.If this is them he says he was born in Stepney.

John and Jane lived in Chelsea for 1871 census, but can't find them in 1881 - so presumably dead.
I just can't find John James as a child in 1841 or 1851 he married 1859
I shall try Waverley Road in address search for 1851 - It might be his last address before marrying

Thanks to all for trying

There is a tree on Ancestry with John James and Jane Kidd on and it says his parents are John Clark and Ann.
