Have you got Arthur's birth certificate? That should give you the parents' names, the mother's maiden name ("MMN"), the father's occupation, the address of the birth, as well as the date of birth.
If you don't get a reliable birth record, then you could have problems. Do you know what his DoB was?
If you're buying a BMD certificate, do make sure you buy direct: buying via an agent (several sites offer a "service") costs about three or four times the proper price of about £10 (£9.25 from GRO).
Or, if there's a relevant one, you can go to one of the local district sites: http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/local_bmd

no details im afraid, and the only person left in the family is my mum (arthurs daughter) but she was only a baby when he died, so 1939 was the right year he died and born 1903, only details i have, he did marry kate bryer and they had children, srry and no i dont have the birth cert

I think his marriage certificate is what you need, as you already know his wife's name so can be sure you have the right one. The GRO ref is Arthur E Clark, spouse surname Bryer, 1923 June Quarter, Bristol district, volume 6a, page 35. This will give you his age at marriage and his father's name - useful to cross check with the 1911 census details.Judith passed away in October 2018

A bit of hunting for likely death records is called for. There are also some sites with images from graveyards. Have you tried exploring the FTF Reference Library to see if there's anything there that could give you a hint?
