I don't think the 1871 above is correct as I've found this one for 1861 which looks more likely

he was down as a warp weaver henry clarke was 21 in 1909 when he married i think its the one where he lived at 15 dean st i know henry was living at malsis crescent, keighley so it ties in slightly.
i am amazed at the size of the family.

It's the way it has been transcribed when you look at the actual images it says Edwin & Mary
