Marcus Report 15 May 2018 20:07

I am looking (Without success!) for Thomas Clark & family.

Thomas Clark b1806 / 1813?? Weymouth
Sarah Clark c1811 Weymouth
John b1833 Weymouth
Elizabeth b 1835 Weymouth
Robert b1837 Weymouth
George b 1839 Weymouth
Joseph b1840 Bridgwater, Somerset

Other children William, Samuel, Edward & Mary all born after 1841

I have the family 1851 onwards, just cannot find them 1841 Census.

They maybe in Weymouth, Dorset area OR Bridgwater, Somerset ?

Have found John, Robert & Elizabeth in Weymouth Union Workhouse in 1841. Ages seem to fit, but the parents & other siblings, where are they?

Any help appreciated. Thanks !!
