Sadly the marriage certificate doesnt really help much - says he was a greengrocer at time of the wedding, section for father is blank and the witnesses are lily saunders and s j gentle? i think it says haha. it is confusing because there is 2 arthur g clarks - arthur g clark (1907 - father) and his son Arthur G Clark (born 1934). it is the 1907 im looking for but cannot for the life of me find anything. the only other info on marriage certificate is that they got married in chesterton. i would upload a cropped image just showing info for arthur but dont know how to do it or if it is even allowed

looking at it record it could possibly be although not sure how i could confirm it, dates seem about right. on marriage certificate it doesn't list his father either. makes me wonder what happened to his mother and father. very puzzling
Originally posted by cbcarolyn View Postfound this on Ancestry, no father so pretty sure not right. Grandfather came from Bedford so not miles away from Cambridge....
and as GR has it this I think, so before May

again could be a possibility, there was a post earlier on in this thread that dates seemed about right - link on ancestry from 1911 census that could possibly match but lists him as grandson. so confused haha - so many possibilities
Originally posted by cbcarolyn View Postsounds like he didn't know father then, maybe the Whitby one - but still not happy with month being incorrect, maybe he just disowned his father so said he didn't know.

yes that was me that posted.
There are not many Arthur George Clark on GRO, the one in red is the only one that fits the birth date on 1939 register, assume that is the one Vera posted.
One in blue has no mother maiden name, so assume no father, year fits with marriage age.

Well I don't know if this works, but each Arthur George Clarke - I have tried to find the nearest place in 1939 to their birth and correct quarter, clearly relying on full names, so narrows down the Arthurs.....

I apologise all, I was just looking back through info I had been given and I have a question mark by it in my notes but I vaguely remember my grandfathers sister saying something about her grandfather being called William Clark? Has anybody come across that name anywhere whilst looking for Arthur? I apologise again its a small piece of info that I missed. Again never been able to prove it to be true or not. Last thing I want is to updset anyone on here. Your help is greatly greatly appreciated!!

The Clark/Spink birth was inside marriage though, so for him not to put his father's name on his marriage cert indicates that he had washed his hands of his father.
Scenario - Mr Clark senior abandons his wife (the former Miss Spink) and children at some point, making Arthur George (1907) so bitter that he renounces his father for ever! I am toying with another possibility but too tired to follow it through tonight!

Not seen a William, if he really didn't have a father, it could be a William was a stepfather, and had brought him up?
The list from GRO will be the same regardless of fathers name.Carolyn

Have just come across a christening record in Necton, Norfolk - christening date 07 April 1907 - Parents William Clark and Sarah. Hmmm I wonder? found it on familysearch.org - never used site beforeLast edited by mateer1987; 06-05-19, 21:30.

that should be the one in Swaffham, and is a likely candidate. but dob on 1939 reg wrong, but sure that is plausible.
it is on ancestry
