If he was at sea on 6 Jun 1841 he would not be on the census, he could have then have been lost at sea between 1841 and 1851. You would then have to rely on the old parish records and without a body registering his death may have been difficult/impossible. Perhaps someone who is a legal whizz could help.

Between 1841 and 1851 is before the start of civil registration in Scotland (1855) so there would be no question of registering his death. "Death" records in Scotland in that era basically concern the funeral which, if he were lost at sea, wouldn't be a concern. Even if he were buried in Scotland, the chances are poor that any record exists, though you'd need to consult the NRS site to see whether there are any burial records for that locality. This applies, of course, even if he died before 1841.

Indeed, it occurs to me that I think (but am open to correction) that the 1841 does not record widows / widowers, so he could have died before 1841.

In general no although I have come across 'Widow' although I can't recall exactly what was written e.g. Farmer's widow or suchlike.

my 3 x great grandmother was flora adamson Clark born 18 sep 1837 ,died 8 apr 1906 In arbroath

You don't say whether Flora was married?

If she married & in Scotland, what info. is given on her marriage about her father?

Have you also tried the option of 'names that begin with' as he may have been recorded elsewhere as Clarke?
