Hi Liz
Yes, you are correct, the date should read 1800 - unfortunately it was a typo by myself.
Please accept my apologies for that

Hi Liz,
Just noticed this thread after replying to the message you left on mine about Robert Clark(e). This could get confusing - both called Liz!!
I found a couple of burials in Rye Cemetery which are a bit after your time but very likely might be connected.
Margaret Clark (nee Staffell) - 02.09.1884 NonComM
&
Thomas Staffell Clark - 05.07.1883 NonComM
Best wishes
Liz
