How do you know where and when he was born?

The names of his children may also help to track him down.

Are these his children?

Ellen Clark
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening: 19 January 1823 SLAIDBURN, YORK, ENGLAND
father: Wilson Clark
mother: Ann

Thomas Clark
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening: 15 July 1827 SLAIDBURN, YORK, ENGLAND

mother: Ann

John Clark
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975

mother: Ann

Isabella Clerk
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
christening: 17 July 1825 SLAIDBURN, YORK, ENGLAND

mother: Ann


If this is him, then it would mean that he was married at the age of 12yrs so are you sure that you have his birth date correct?

On Chris' marriage it also states that he was widowed so not his first marriage which would make him even younger at his first marriage.

this looks to be the family of Wilson and Ann that I posted earlier:-

1841

Name: Wilson Clarke
Age: 54
Estimated birth year: abt 1787
Gender: Male
Where born: Westmorland, England
Civil Parish: Blackburn
Hundred: Blackburn (Lower Division)
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Street address:

Occupation: Shoemaker

View image
Registration district: Blackburn
Sub-registration district: Blackburn
Neighbors: View others on page
Piece: 502
Book: 3
Folio: 43
Page Number: 34
Household Members:
Name Age
Wilson Clarke 54
Ann Clarke 55

Ellen Clarke 17 (1824)
Isabella Clarke 15 (1826)
Thomas Clarke 14 (1827)

Jane Clarke 7 (1834 Lancashire)
Ann Clarke 3 (1838 Lancashire)


So this shows that this Wilson Clerk was a Shoemaker, so is this him?

If yes, then also states that he was born Westmorland in 1787?

In which case, this is the only one I can see that would fit:-

Wilson Clark
England Births and Christenings
Name Wilson Clark
Gender Male
Christening Date 30 Jun 1788
Christening Place Kendal, Westmorland, England
Birth Date 17 Apr 1787
Father's Name John Clark
Mother's Name Eleanor Clark
