Who is Mary Clarke?

[EdCan]

I thought that I would post this before ordering a marriage cert in case something new can be found.
Mary Clarke married John Henry Bailey Mar 1912 Sculcoates. In 1939 they are living at 5 Station Rd, Beverley RD and Mary's dob is shown as 11 Sep 1876. John dies in 1950 and Mary 20 May 1958. Her will shows Peter Alexander Clarke(retired tailor) as executor. The only Peter Alexander Clarke that I could find was born in 1892 Liverpool and does not have a relative named Mary in 1901/11. I thought that Peter and Mary may have been siblings but no luck. Are they related or is the last name a coincidence?

There is a Mary Bailey in the free index to 1921 in Elloughton with Brough, Beverley R.D.
Born 1872, Liverpool.
With John H Bailey, born 1879, Bridlington, Yorkshire. I think John is a platelayer, as per that marriage found by Rosie.

Marriage had three witnesses.
Mary Clarke was a Cook, I think, residence Vicarage.

Wedding witnesses = Hester Kempthorne was the vicars Bishops wife and Clara Meadowcroft was a servant to the vicar bishop and his wife.  The third was G A Ellis

I'm wondering is Peter A is Mary's nephew?

He's born Liverpool 1892 - can be found on 1901 census with father Peter b c1868 and mother Annie nee Hughes (as per GRO)

Their marriage in 1891 shows Peter's father is another Peter - a tailor

On 1881 he is with his parents and 9 year old sister Mary
