Sorry I only just saw this. I had replied in the names thread but I will repost what I had written there just to save you having to look
I was just looking up Salome and I assume the Salone Asenath Clark (bap. 16th Feb 1830 St. Mary's, Nottingham) is your Salome. It says her father was Joseph and her mother Ann...so was Joseph Ann named after her mother and father (I think that is quite sweet).
I tried looking of Family History Society but can't find either baptism which could have given the father's occupation...it does sometimes.
I looked on the 1841 census and they don't seem unlikely candidates for travellers although it's almost impossible to tell for sure. Do you know Ann's surname? There are definitely Clark gypsies so it is perfectly possible. It is also possible that after the death of her husband she tried to settle down to a less nomadic life.
Do you think either of these are your Joseph Clark who died...they both were buried in the same church as Salome was baptised so there might be a connection.
