I live in West Rainton, although not from here originally. I've never heard of or seen Cement cottage. We walk a lot and Leamside only has houses either side of the road, and there's only one road.
I found these transcripts and there aren't any Clarks amongst them, however many stones in the 2 graveyards have fallen or been laid down. It doesn't say when they were transcribed.

However (and I know you've thrashed the issue out now!) it's far more likely that a death notice of a West Rainton/Leamside resident would be posted in a Sunderland newspaper than a West Auckland death. West Rainton is now right in the border of County Durham and Sunderland.
