Hi

Possibly your David CLARK was born in Carlisle, Cumberland  - which is in England but just across the Scottish border.

RG13/4667 , ED:2, Folio: 64, Page 47
Medomsley 
Durham 

Head: David CLARK Age: 40 (YOB1861)  born Carlisle, Cumberland, Coal Miner
Wife: Mary CLARK Age 41 (YOB 1860) born Pelton Fell, Durham
Son: Irving CLARK Age 16 (YOB 1885) born Westwood, Durham, Clerk
Dau: Dinah Jane CLARK 15 (YOB 1886) born Westwood, Durham

For a small fee you can view the full 1901 image here:

Re: Agnes M CLARK (full name per other posts), there is one birth of:
Agnes McNeil Sm CLARK on Scotland's People for 1903, and  in Dennistoun Lanark.

For $6GBP you purchase 30 credits and it will cost 1 credit to view the above reference and a further 5 credits to view/download the actual birth extract, giving her parents. Then you have some credits leftover, to use within 7 days.

There is one marriage between 1880 and 1886 on FREEBMD for a David CLARK  in Co. Durham where a Mary is a possible bride:
Marriages Jun Qtr 1883, District Lanchester
Clark  David    Lanchester  10a 454   
married either:
Mary FENWICK
Mary Jane   PEARS

Then there is the following in the 1881 Census - being David of the 1901 Census, with his Scottish mother and I guess, siblings -  it's all a bit skew-whiff as I don't think David age 20 had a son at age 2 etc but this is it as enumerated - Possibly Mother Janet should have been the Head:--

West Wood Farm
Medomsley, Durham
RG11/4950   Folio 90    Page 48

Head: David CLARK   U   20    M   Carlisle, Cumberland, Coal Miner
Son: Irving CLARK   U   18    M   Ebchester, Durham Coal Miner
Son: Robert CLARK       15    M   Ebchester, Durham, Coal Miner
Dau: Elizabeth CLARK    13    F   Ebchester, Durham, Scholar
Dau: Mary CLARK       7    F   Ebchester, Durham, Scholar
Dau: Margaret CLARK    2    F   Medomsley, Durham, Daur
Mother: Janet CLARK U   47    F   Scotland
Boarder: John MCCOLL    16    M   Newcastle On Tyne, Coal Miner

You could request a Lookup in Durham board to try find the 1881 family in 1871 to acertain the father's name (Janet's husband).

And if you can get Agnes McNeil Smith CLARKS's marriage to Horatio GIBSON, just perhaps it may have a sister as a witness who could tie up some of the above.

Hope this helps
Cheers
