David Clark - Jane Simpson - Forfar 1800's

[Clark-Dorward]

I am trying to find a David Clark from Forfar (maybe Letham) who was a Linen Weaver.
Born probably around 1830, had a child with Jane Simpson around 1853 (out of wedlock)-

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
There is one possibility in the 1851 a David Clark 17 living at Nursery  Feus with his Mother Betty Hill and siblings In 1841 The Clark family are at Nursery Feus and possible father Thomas This David is the only David Clark linen weaver in Angus according to Freecen

Thanks for the reply, that looks like the David Clark I am after. But found out the mother of (I think) 2 of his children was Jane (or Jean) Samson (not Simpson). The children were William and David Clark and lived with there mum who went on to marry a John Samson. And David Clark appears in the 1871 Census as still living at home, 36 years old, unmarried, Linen Weaver. I will continue my search to complete his details. David Clarks father was Thomas Clark who died in 1847.
