Peter, i have just been looking through some old papers and have found a copy of a letter which states that Richard was born in barbados, i know you were unable to say where he was born on the census but could it say Barbados please??

Hi Abbie

              Just had a look on the 1841 for Birkenhead and found Richard, Eleanor and two households away another Sylvester Clarke! a possible brother for Richard ?

1841 HO107-126-06-Page 23 Chester Road Birkenhead

Richard Clarke  25  marineer   not born in county X
Eleanor    ~      20                         born in county
Sarah      ~        3 months             born in county

Sylvester Clarke 20  marineer not born in county X

The X in this case I think denotes they were both born out of England

Thank you Peter, it would seem plausible for him to be a brother as the name has carried on down the family for several generations........
Thank you very much Peter for your help......Abbie x
