Hi Linda......

I think this is John Clarke snr on the 1841 census........

Park Street, Woburn

John Clarke / age 60 / labourer/ not born in County
Sarah Clarke / age 55 / born in County
David Clarke / age 15 / born in County

The only John Clarke in Woburn

1841 did not give relationships and the ages of adults was +/- 5 years.........

1851 census

Woburn

John Clarke / head / age 30 / Blacksmith / born Woburn
Mary Clarke / wife / age 32 / born Teddington
John / son / age 5 / born Woburn
James / son / age 3 / born Woburn
Maria / daughter / age 1 / born Woburn

Hope this is the info you were seeking

Regards

JeannieR

I disagree that the John Clarke senior in 1841 is the father of John the blacksmith in 1851.

If you check the IGI at www.familysearch.org there's a baptism in 1820 in Woburn of John Clarke, parents John and Mary, which doesn't tie up with the supposed father in 1841, although it might have been a second marriage. However the only David Clarke that fits was born on 27 June 1824, son of John and Sarah recorded at Ridgmont Baptist. There were another nine children of John and Sarah whose births were registered at Ridgmont baptist, but no John, so I doubt if this John and Sarah were John's parents. David Clarke's age of 15 in 1841 would fit, as ages over 15 in 1841 should have been rounded down to the nearest 5 below (not +/- 5)

There was actually another John Clark family in Woburn in 1841 which looks to me to be your John Clark(e)

HO107/5/39 part 2 folio 19A
Birchmoor Green, Woburn
John Clark 40 gardener
Mary Clark 40
George Clark 20 gardener
John Clark 20 Smith journeyman
Charles Clark 15 labourer
Alfred Clark 5
Eliza Clark 5

In 1851 in Woburn
HO107/1755 folio 122A
London End Woburn
John Clark head marr 55 gardener b Woburn
Mary Clark wife 54 b Milbrook Beds
Eliza Clark 15 dressmaker b Woburn

The occupation of John Clark 20 in 1841 ties in with his occupation in 1851.

There's an extracted marriage on the IGI at Woburn on 17 Aug 1817 between John Clarke and Mary Woodland.

Regards

David

Hi Linda.......

As promised.....

1861 census

Leighton Street, Woburn

John Clarke/head/age 40 / Blacksmith/born Woburn
Mary Clarke / wife / age 42 / born Toddington
John / son / age 15 / labourer
James / son / age 13 / labourer
Maria / daughter / age 11
Walter / son / age 8
Amy J / daughter / age 1

All children born Woburn

In 1871, John and Mary, with Amy J, are living at ...
91 Leighton Street, Woburn

1881 census

9 Holdom Terrace, Fenny Stratford

John Clarke / head / age 60
Mary Clarke / wife / age 61
Maria Clarke / daughter / age 31 / dressmaker

They do not appear on the 1891 census . I think I have the registration of John's death in 1890

Hope this helps

Kind regards

JeannieR
