Notes from Tim Clark 16 September 2011
When I visited the Museum, found we some information regarding William Clark c1803 who is my 4 x Grandad who married Hannah Cramer c1808, I am sure it was his christening and it gave his parents details, and I think it was in West Mersea not East Mersea where he was born.
Hannah Clark seems to me a very interesting person she seemed to either own or rent lots of the agricultural land in East Mersea also owned the beer house now Dog and Pheasant (which I had a nice lunch and beer in recently). I understand she was a spinster, but for this era she was I would have thought quite unusual to be in her position, I know she had a brother from the will ( Elijah ) and can see that he also either rented or owned a lot of properties and fields.
I know also from census returns that there was Clarks farm which Hannah was an occupier of.
Date: 26 October 1843
